Can insurers' 'view' save us from climate change? [or can the climate change hoax be used by insurance companies to "justify" higher premiums?]
A hurricane has many causes, and global warming might only be 2 percent of the overall risk. If that part grows from 2 percent to 5 percent, it seems negligible but in fact it's quite significant. As one insurance executive said, "Even a minor increase in a risk like that can mean billions of dollars in additional losses to insurers."

If climate change is turning up the dial, these familiar events may break out of their boundaries and become more frequent, more intense or changed in unexpected ways.   [Why couldn't these familiar events become less frequent, less intense, or show no correlation with CO2 at all?]
