Certain disclosed they were very concerned a remarkable increase from the who commented the same last year The statistic was among the majority of striking findings from the research which surveyed Californians between July and on a range of topics related to environmental protection The description also exposed that of Californians overall see context change as a major threat to the state s future Plenty of people say they re concerned about wildfires and a large number of people say they re concerned about the risks of surroundings change Mark Baldassare the PPIC statewide survey director who led the company that conducted and synthesized the examination s results commented in an interview with this news organization And among those risks that people mentioned they re very concerned that they might not be able to afford home insurance As deadly wildfires have ravaged the state over the past decade insurance companies have dropped hundreds of thousands of homeowners Numerous of those able to find policies have seen premiums spike by thousands of dollars Others have been forced onto the California FAIR Plan an insurer of last resort Particular insurers including State Farm have stopped writing new home insurance policies anywhere in the state The scrutiny comes on the heels of a flurry of policies aimed to control context change enacted or promised by Gov Gavin Newsom The policies were kickstarted by a plan that charted a subject for net-zero emissions by and have since included an executive order banning all new gasoline-powered vehicles by something the Trump administration is trying to block It also comes as the administration cuts funds for climate-related programs even as devastating extreme weather events like the latest Texas floods and

effectively were an extreme weather event to strike The survey ascertained that just of Californians including of Democrats and of Republicans have a great deal of confidence the administration would be ready to respond For two-thirds of people to say that they feel that state and local governments are not doing enough when it comes to prevention and recovery says a lot in the context of what people have seen and heard and read over the lesson of the year Baldassare commented While majorities of both parties in California of Democrats and of Republicans view context change as a serious threat to the state there remain stark partisan differences on almost every iota of atmosphere change program itself Specific of Democrats patronage stricter environmental regulations for instance
