High Risk Climate Locations To Be Shut Off By Insurers

An article in today's  Guardian,  'Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insure',  predicted climate change will bring an end to capitalism. Noting that,

The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther Thallinger, on the board of Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from mortgages to investments.

Basically places deemed uninhabitable, or close to it, will be shut out from the insurance market and further investment. 

Günther Thallinger, added  this is bad for the overall financial sector,

“This applies not only to housing, but to infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, and industry,” he said. “The economic value of entire regions – coastal, arid, wildfire-prone – will begin to vanish from financial ledgers. Markets will reprice, rapidly and brutally. This is what a climate-driven market failure looks like.”

For years I have been talking about how climate change will devastate certain areas and encourage climate migration. The inability to buy insurance and a dearth of investment is going to devastate certain parts of America and the world at large. More publicity like this will push people to move and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Measuring Spiritual Progress

 For years I have been able to measure someone's spiritual progress, what called a person's Consciousness quotient. It is a measure of a person's evolving soul--their progress, or digression. It is a rough gauge that I use to measure the vibe of a place. It is critical in my work as an Earth Healer.

A few weeks back I posted a YouTube video explaining it. Which you can access by clicking on the link below.

We Lost One of Our Heroes--Arthur Firstenberg

Arthur Firstenberg who had been a strident voice against electropollution died last month  (February 25,  2025). Throughly researched and detailed, his book the Invisible Rainbow was one of the better books, perhaps the best one, written about electropollution.

I first contacted Arthur about four years. He said he was happy to hear that I did not own a cell phone and that along with him he knew of no others that did not own a cell phone. I joined his list serve and would send him news leads if I saw something that might be of interest to him.

When I got zapped by 5G while walking my dog, six months after the city of Syracuse installed 5G citywide. He sent me a list of doctors in New York State that could possibly diagnose electrosensitivity. I am sure that he did so for many others on his extensive list serve.

I told him that Earthing (connecting a grounding wire to the Earthing Pad to place your feet on) could be a big help in dealing electrosmog. I even offered to dowse ( remote dowse ) his property free of charge to find the intersection of several Energy Lines, or another beneficial source of Mother Earth's Energies to better help him deal with electropollution. He declined saying all the electrical gadgets that are grounded into the Earth greatly harmed our Mothers Tellluric currents.

A little less than a year ago he said his health had somehow surprisingly deteriorated and he was going to stop sending out emails. Again I offered to find a healing location on his property.

This morning I got the email below about his death.

We lost a a champion. Blessings to you Arthur  on your journey.

Peace,

madis



Arthur Firstenberg: 
May 28, 1950 - February 25, 2025

Arthur Firstenberg, author, environmentalist and activist, died in his home after months of an undiagnosed illness, surrounded by family and friends.
 
Arthur was born in Brooklyn, New York to survivors of the Holocaust. His childhood summers in upstate New York, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, and on an island near Newfoundland fostered his love of nature. At Cornell University, he devoted half of his time to hiking, canoeing and rock climbing—and half to physics, mathematics, ancient civilizations and foreign languages. After graduating in 1971, he lived with small farmers in Norway and among Guatemala’s traditional Maya.
 
From 1978 to 1982, Arthur attended medical school at the University of California, Irvine. He left before graduating after more than 40 dental x-rays led to his experiencing microwave sickness.
 
He became a vegetarian and a Feldenkrais practitioner.
 
In 1986, Arthur participated in the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament. While walking across the U.S., he witnessed modern society’s destruction of the Earth and its creatures. In 1989, in search of a simple life, he traveled to northernmost Canada but found heart-wrenching destruction there, too.
 
In 1996, to expedite the roll-out of cellular phone service, Congress passed the Telecommunications Act. Its Section 704 prohibits municipalities from denying permits to install cellular antennas based on their environmental effects. Arthur founded the Cellular Phone Task Force and began providing a clearinghouse for information about wireless technologies’ injurious effects and a global support network for people disabled by electromagnetic fields. He began tracking the permit requests that corporations made to municipalities to install cellular antennas, smart meters and other radiation-emitting technologies—and rallied others to try to stop such efforts.

In 1997, based on the rights of states, nature and disabled people, the Cellular Phone Task Force joined other groups to challenge the Federal Communications Commission’s radio-frequency radiation exposure limits. Their efforts were unsuccessful.
 
In 2002, the U.S. Access Board recognized that under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), electromagnetic sensitivities may be considered disabilities.
 
Arthur moved to Santa Fe, NM in 2005. Introducing himself to a packed audience at the Women’s Club, he named some of the effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation—nausea, nosebleeds, diarrhea, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, irregular hair loss and nerve pain. Many people were moved to tears as they realized wireless technologies’ effects on their families, pets and themselves.
 
Each time a corporation proposed a new cell tower or the city proposed installing new WiFi, or a utility proposed transmitting “smart” meters, Arthur notified his mailing list and encouraged people to attend public hearings and speak out. The City Council chambers often overflowed.
 
Arthur became known for his intolerance of wireless devices, his passionate public comments, his unwillingness to compromise on ecological or public health, and for suing a neighbor whose Wi-Fi disturbed him. The NY Times and other media repeatedly ridiculed Arthur for that lawsuit. The attention did not faze him.
 
In 2021, through the Santa Fe Alliance for Public Health and Safety, he petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on 1) whether the Telecom Act’s Section 704 violates the First Amendment right of access to courts and 2) whether “environmental effects” also encompasses “health effects.” Many organizations joined this suit, but the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
 
Arthur tracked the dates of his experience of new or intensified symptoms—and found that they correlated with the dates on which satellites, 5G and other technologies turned on. In The Invisible Rainbow, he correlated electrification’s rise with the increase of previously unknown diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. He considered radiation emitted by cordless phones, cellular antennas, mobile phones, laptops, fluorescent lights, satellites, smart utility meters, newer cars and other transmitting devices a violation of nature.
 
For years, Arthur got around Santa Fe with a bicycle. He never owned a television or a cell phone. He dreamed of people politely accepting neighbors’ requests to turn off mobile devices and unplug WiFi. Because computers ravage the Earth and public health from their cradles-to-graves, he dreamed of a society with shared—not individually owned—computers. He frequently called for people to quit using mobile devices.
 
As a member of Once A Forest, he opposed forest management policies such as thinning and prescribed fires.
 
Arthur understood the consequences of the electrical power at our fingertips.

“The only thing we can really do for the Earth is to stop destroying it.
Then the Earth will take care of itself. Instead of trying to fix the whole planet, let us attend to our own simple lives.” 
Arthur Firstenberg

Firstenberg’s books include The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (Chelsea Green, 2020, more than 100,000 copies sold); Microwaving Our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution (1997); and, most recently, The Earth and I (Skyhorse, 2025).
 
Arthur Firstenberg is survived by a nephew and countless people committed to respecting nature and reducing electronic technologies’ harms to ecosystems and public health.
 
A memorial gathering was held Saturday, March 1st at the Santa Fe Main Library.
 
A Zoom memorial will be scheduled at a later date.

Water May Be The Incipient Factor That Brings About Cataclysmic Climate Change

For sometime I have thought water will bring about our demise.This fear was reinforced this week by a study released by WaterAid, a global NGO.

The report titled, 'Water and Climate: Rising Risks for Urban Populations,' predicts there will be wild swings in water availability for many of the world's cities, from drought to wet, or from wet to drought.

Here are some of the more interesting findings of the report:

100 of the most populated cities will experience dramatic shifts in flooding and droughts posing a risk for urban populations and preventing communities accessing clean water worldwide.

Regional wetting hotspots are in Southern Asian cities, widespread drying throughout European cities, and ‘climate whiplash’ trends across four continents including Africa.

Almost 1 in 5 (15%) of cities studied emerge as experiencing ‘climate whiplash’ - intensification of both droughts and floods - whereas 20% of cities have seen a major flip from one extreme to the other. Cities in Southern Asia are becoming overwhelmingly flood-prone and European cities are exhibiting significant drying trends, all of which can impact people’s clean water access and water security.

From recent drought in cities like Madrid (Spain) and Cape Town (South Africa), to large-scale flooding across cities in Bangladesh and Pakistan, 90% of all climate disasters are driven by too little or too much water. WaterAid, the world’s leading water, sanitation and hygiene charity, warns that weather-related disasters such as flooding and drought have increased by 400% in last 50 years, putting major pressure on vital water access and sanitation systems and making it harder for communities and economies to prepare for, recover from and adapt to climate change.

20% of the cities studied are experiencing dramatic shifts to extreme wet or extreme dry conditions, referred to as ‘climate hazard flips'.  Approximately 13% are flipping toward a more extreme wet climate, while about 7% are flipping toward a more extreme dry climate. This amounts to over a quarter of a billion people across the world experiencing a major flip in their climate, including in cities such as Kano (Nigeria), Bogota (Colombia) and Cairo (Egypt), placing major pressure on access to safe and clean water.

“The threat of a global "Day Zero" looms large—what happens when the 4 billion people already facing water scarcity reach that breaking point, and the food, health, energy, nature, economies, and security that depend on it are pushed to the brink? 

Water is Sacred!

Levels of Consciousness

I recently posted a video on the Levels of Consciousness within the large sea of consciousness that we live in (link below). It is akin to what many call Planes of Existence. Although they are very similar I see distinct differences. I draw upon my extensive experience as an Earth Healer and work with the unseen world around us.

Science Creating New Low Flyingl Sattelites to Pollute Our Sky With Even More Electronics

 BBC ran a story, Sky skimmers: The race to fly satellites at the lowest orbits yet, about the race to fill the sky with even more satellites. Called Skimmers these satellites will fly closer to Earths atmosphere than any other satellite.

The article points out the abilities and risks these new low flying satellites  saying,

This new generation of orbiters could enable ultra-high-definition surveillance of activities on the ground, or superfast satellite-based communications.

What is not mentioned is that our crowded sky will become even more crowded. Nor does it talk about the dangers posed by the electroplllution created by Skimmers and the damage they will do to an already weakening geomagnetic field.

Our assault on Mother Earth with technology and science gets increasingly more egregious. Sad.

The Extent of Ocean's Warming Has Been Underestimated

 There have been two Climate Change impacts I have been talking about on this blog for years. One is that we have been underestimating Climate Change (https://motherearthprayers.blogspot.com/search/label/Underestimating%20Climate%20Change)

and that there is a multiplier affect, where the components--rising temperature, air pollution....--interact with each other and magnify their affects.

It seems like less than a year ago it was reported we have been underestimating  rising water temperatures. Well this past week it happened again. An Environmental Research Letters Study found

--Ocean warming 4 times faster than in 1980s — and will likely  accelerate in coming decades.

-- The acceleration in ocean warming is due to climate change and the Earth taking in more energy than it's emitting. 

--the warming ocean trend has picked up in the last 15 years because Earth is absorbing more sunlight as well as heat trapped by greenhouse gases.
