Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about climate advisories being deleted and your next house.

This happened pretty quietly, but it says a lot about the world we live in right now.

Zillow, which is one of the biggest

real estate platforms in the country, removed climate risk data from its home listings. Now,

don't trash Zillow for this. They got complaints about it hurting sales and realistically from what

we've heard. This was a move to cover themselves

legally. And while the data is gone from their site, it looks like it's been replaced by a link

to First Street, which provides incredibly similar data. Nice. But this situation tells us far more about money, incentives, and how people

actually respond to climate change than most political debates ever will. Because here's the

reality. If climate change stayed theoretical, distant, and abstract, It would be easier for any market to ignore.

But the moment climate risk starts affecting property values, insurance costs, and investment decisions

in real time, well, suddenly it becomes super inconvenient to those with the money.

And inconvenient information often doesn't survive long in systems built around profit.

Reporting says the complaints didn't come from scientists. They didn't come from insurers.

They came from the real estate industry itself.

Agents, brokers, regional listing services.

So in other words, the people whose paychecks depend on sales volume and price stability.

That's how these things usually work.

This isn't really about Zillow. Zillow is just the latest

pressure point where climate reality collided with economic incentive. Because see, we've built

an economy where enormous amounts of wealth are tied to assets that assume environmental stability.
