Sen. Whitehouse Tours Coastal States to Highlight Climate Change's Impact on Home Insurance
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has been actively engaging in discussions about climate change, recently hosting a roundtable in North Carolina with Rep. Deborah Ross to explore the rising sea levels' impact on home insurance prices. The Rhode Island Democrat has been touring coastal states, including those with Republican majorities, to raise awareness about climate risk.
Whitehouse's efforts are part of a broader series of events he has held across the country. Previously, he organised similar discussions in Houston, Texas, and St. Petersburg, Florida. The senator's upcoming itinerary includes visits to Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and India to continue these crucial conversations.
Focusing on states with significant coastal risk, like his home state of Rhode Island, Whitehouse aims to highlight the tangible effects of climate change on homeowners' insurance. By engaging with local representatives and communities, he hopes to foster a better understanding of the urgent need for climate action.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's climate change discussion series continues, with future stops planned in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and India. His focus on coastal states, including those with Republican representation, underscores the bipartisan nature of the climate crisis.
