American, living in area prone to natural disasters: "Is the WHOLE WORLD becoming uninsurable?"

The answer is obviously "no" since there are other parts of the world that don't live on a hurricane highway nor build houses made from firewood in an area prone to wildfires.

Might as well throw in the risk of being wiped out by a comet.

Climate risks are greater and more immediate than either comets or poles shifting.
