Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable at a rate that is highly profitable to them.

Yes, there are places where the cost of insurance would be so astronomically high that it would be unaffordable but I'll bet there are still lots and lots and lots of places there a 100% non-profit collective (USAA?) could still insure homes.
