The Colorado Sun’s environmental reporter Michael Booth spoke with a panel of experts about how wildfires, hail, floods and more are costing Coloradans billions in higher insurance rates. And that’s if they can get insured at all. It will only get worse as a warming planet creates more disasters. How bad will it get, and what can state policymakers do about it?

Speakers included:

  • Insurance Commissioner Michael Conway
  • Executive Director Carole Walker, Rocky Mountain Insurance Information
  • Director of Insurance Douglas Heller, Consumer Federation of America
