Insurance companies have lately sought to cash in on climate hysteria:
Many coastal property owners in North Carolina have seen their insurance
rates increase 25 percent since May ...
"I know everybody on the coast is suffering from high insurance rates,"
said William Baggett, an owner of the oceanfront Blockade Runner hotel
in Wrightsville Beach. He said his rates have quadrupled since 2005. "I
don't think they are quite justified."
That re****t from last year. But things have since turned around:
Lloyd's of London warned yesterday that an absence last year of natural
disasters or man-made accidents was putting pressure on firms to reduce
premiums in 2008.
The world's oldest and biggest insurance market said that though the
lack of major disasters had allowed firms to push up profits 5% in 2007,
underwriting margins were being squeezed ... two years of relatively few
claims for environmental damage have increased competition in the
sector.

The Fourth Re****t of the IPCC might just as well decree the
suppression of all climatology textbooks, and replace them in our
schools with press communiqués. ... Day after day, the same mantra -
that 'the Earth is warming up' - is churned out in all its forms. As
'the
ice melts' and 'sea level rises' the Apocalypse looms ever nearer!
Without realizing it, or perhaps without wi****ng to, the average
citizen in bamboozled, lobotomized, and lulled into mindless acceptance.
.... Non-believers in the greenhouse scenario are in the
position of those long ago who doubted the existence of God ...
Marcel Leroux
It should be abundantly clear by now that the AGW hypothesis is
contradicted by the facts/measurements/observations and should
therefore be abandoned and be substituted by a hypothesis which
better matches the facts.
