Former Vice President Al Gore was scheduled to speak on global warming this coming weekend in New Orleans, but although Gore’s speech to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners had to be cancelled because of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, his allies are pressing ahead with efforts to enlist the insurance industry in the global warming alarmist army.
Ceres, a coalition of environmental activists and left-leaning institutional investors, released a Sep. 8 report in preparation for the NAIC meeting claiming that “affordability and availability of insurance are already at risk from rising weather-related losses” and that “future financial exposure for insurers, state and federal governments, businesses and consumers could worsen if climate and business trends continue.”
The global warmers hope to lure insurance companies into supporting global warming regulation, such as mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reductions, on the basis that regulation may reduce the frequency and/or intensity of natural disasters and, consequently, their financial exposure resulting from policy claims. Insurance companies might also seek compensation for financial losses from energy, automobile and other industries blamed by environmentalists for global warming.

The religion of Global Warmists marches on.
These global warmists jet all over the world trying to brainwash the stupid sheeple into beliving this scam- causing "global warming". Maybe they should be forced to ride a bike to these gatherings.
The insurance companies state that a disaster (such as Katrina) is not an act of God, but a manmade event caused by global warming, and deny any "Act of God" claims.
And as if to drive home my point, there's this post.
