It is no longer just environmentalists who listen intently when climate change projections keep getting worse and worse. It is the insurance companies. While national climate change policy remains in partisan Washington gridlock, insurers worldwide are seeing first hand that the sky is truly falling. Losses from the extreme weather of climate change are no longer chump change.

Large insurers have been seriously worried about climate change for a decade or more. Then again, when your bottom line depends on accurately seeing the future, you're less likely to get caught up in the aggressive non-thinking that drives most of the arguments against global warming.
Wait a minute, System. Aren't you one of the people who hate government intervention in anything? The guy whose screen name is exactly the opposite of what you mean? It's hard to keep up with conservatives, because they keep changing. Like the weather.
Insurers rely on the best data available. I wonder if they have consulted the e-mails of Climategate and the recent ones from Climategate 2.0? Just asking.
Climate change is being discredited by the day. It is NOT real. Google Climategate 2.0
