Or maybe they are damn sure that a lot of people who are afraid of global warming will start buying insurance against natural disasters, which Lloyds wouldn’t have to pay back as claims, if in fact global warming turns out to be hype. All they do is try to make money.

Good point, although their succinct public announcement is not in character for a very, very conservative business entity. Usually these companies just offer products and that’s that. I guess we’ll see if they start offering global warming policies then, eh?

All they do is try to make money. And they wouldn’t be so transparent with their views about global warming unless they were damn sure that it could cost them big time.

What is little known is that the IPCC is calling for cuts of 80% from 2007 levels by 2050, with then only a 50% chance of avoiding dangerous warming. Worse, because developing countries have to catch up on per person emissions, developed countries will have to cut over 90%!

I suggest improving nature’s ability to remove CO2 from the air using genetic engineering-perhaps seeding a GMO into the ocean. It is a low-cost, highly scalable, and technically feasible solution to global warming.
