 Episode three, The Whole System, reveals how climate change is breaking insurance across every sector of American life, not just coastal property. Through the story of an Iowa farmer who lost crop insurance after five consecutive years of climate disasters, Miles Mercer exposes how health insurance, life insurance, agricultural insurance, and business insurance are all simultaneously under stress. Health insurers are paying billions for heat-related illnesses, wildfire smoke respiratory damage, expanding vector-borne diseases like Lyme and dengue, and climate-related mental health conditions including PTSD and climate anxiety. Agricultural insurance is collapsing as extreme weather whiplash makes farming unpredictable, creating agricultural collapse zones where multi-generational family farms are being abandoned. Small businesses face crushing premium increases for business interruption coverage while struggling with climate-related closures from smoke, heat, and supply chain disruptions. Life insurance companies are recalculating mortality tables as extreme heat becomes a mass killer and climate disasters create sudden death spikes. The episode demonstrates how all insurance sectors are interconnected, creating feedback loops that accelerate the crisis, and warns that current impacts are only the beginning as we're locked into additional warming regardless of future actions.
