I expect there will be a big fight about this.

Insurance companies are already worried. I expect them to start writing into their policies exclusions about man made climate change. Which most people won't notice until it is time to file a claim. And then there will be a big uproar.

No single weather event can be reliably tied to climate change, though. Presumably it's on the insurance company to prove that an event falls into an excluded category, so it's a matter of time before someone fights them on it and wins.
More likely is a gradual increase in premiums, which is probably already underway.
