@BarackObama I’ll always remember seeing the painting of the Galveston scene hanging in your West Wing shown to my wife and me during a 2016 tour by @SamMedlockCFM when I was a OMB intern.
"In other words, whether or not you believe climate change is a problem, your data-driven insurance company already does — and it's responding, in most cases faster than government regulators."
