Climate Insurance Fraud?

 

 

Today let loose a climate change advocate…Trevor Maynard(08:47)… but they didn’t tell us his links to the climate lobby.   Today didn’t question his claims…..that hurricanes are getting stronger,  that we’re heading for a 4 degrees temperature rise (a horrible scenario!), that we have to decarbonise…they did suggest there might be a pause in warming but were told that there has  definitely been no pause in global warming…’that’s completely wrong’…an answer they were happy to accept, as they were with his claim that the ‘excess’ heat is going into the ocean….not being a ‘climate scientist’ he’s obviously learnt his script well….spoon fed to him by the likes of Bob Ward no doubt.

Climate activist Bob Ward (paid for by Big Oil) who has worked closely with Maynard….a relationshp that the BBC didn’t bother to reveal either.

 

Trevor Maynard works for Lloyds Insurance and is keen to tell us that the risks from climate change are immense and that the damage done by extreme weather are increasing….no vested interests there?

In 2008 we had Maynard and Ward working together….

Coastal flooded high-risk property insurance losses could double by 2030- Lloyds

“The research shows that, with an effective adaptation strategy, future losses could be reduced to below present-day levels with losses for high-risk properties reduced by as much … must be location-specific and risk informed. They must also begin today.”  Co-authored by Trevor Maynard, Manager of Emerging Risks at Lloyd’s and Bob Ward and Nicola Patmore ..

 

And again here:

Finally, Robert Ward, Trevor Maynard, Emmanuel Leblanc, Erwann Michel-Kerjan and Frederic Morlaye present the main concerns and recommended strategies of private sector stakeholders involved in risk management, to deal with the new challenges and opportunities associated with climate change adaptation and mitigation.

 

 

The insurance companies have a huge vested interest in hyping climate change and they fund climate lobbyists:

As well as funding by the ESCR the CCCEP is also funded by a large insurance company, who might obviously have a vested interest in creating some alarm about climate change:

‘Generous support for the Centre’s work is also provided by Munich Re’

The Munich Re programme
Evaluating the economics of climate risks and opportunities in the insurance sector
This research programme is funded by Munich Re and benefits from research collaborations across the industry and public sectors. It is a comprehensive research programme that focuses on the assessment of the risks from climate change, and on the appropriate responses, to inform decision making in the private and public sectors.

Now surely just a coincidence but Bob Ward used to work in the insurance industry:

He was: Director of Global Science Networks at global risk insurance firm RMS.
While Ward’s employment is ostensibly with the Grantham, he also doubles up as PR man for the CCCEP. The CCCEP is funded jointly by the UK’s research councils and risk insurance giants Munich Re.
The close association between climate alarmists and the insurance industry is no less natural than that between ‘sceptics’ and Exxon. Just as Exxon might be expected to play down the threat of climate change when it suits them, Munich Re can be relied upon to overstate the dangers. Fear of risk is to the insurance industry what oil is to Exxon.

The difference is that Bob Ward doesn’t write letters of complaint to Munich Re insurers or articles for the Guardian when Munich Re disseminates ‘misleading and inaccurate information about climate change’ – which they surely do.’

 

And Ward writes papers about climate and insurance risk:

Herweijer, C., Ranger, N., and Ward, R.E.T. July 2009. Adaptation to climate change: threats and opportunities for the insurance industry. The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance: issues and practice, v.34 pp.360-380.

Ward, R.E.T., Herweijer, C., Patmore, N., and Muir-Wood, R. January 2008. The role of insurers in promoting adaptation to the impacts of climate change. The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance: Issues and Practice, v.33, pp.133-139.

Ward, R.E.T., Muir-Wood, R., and Grossi, P. 2007. Flood risk in New Orleans: implications for future management. Geophysical Research Abstracts, v.9, 04542.

 

 

A very small world, one that hasn’t been getting warmer for at least 16 years.

    Have to agree with them. All last summer the newspapers were full of stories about massive hurricanes hitting the USA mainland and the damage they were causing.

      I assume you’re being sarcastic since 2013 was the first year since 1968 to feature no US hurricane strikes.

      Indeed, despite Obama forever going on about ‘hurricanes getting worse’, the US has only seen 3 hurricane strikes during the Obama presidency. By contrast Grover Cleveland had 26 hurricanes during his presidency back in 1893.

      Which newspapers? No doubt you have many, many links concerning these “massive hurricanes”? Let’s see them so we can then tell the rest of the MSM just how much they missed over last summer.

      You, Arthur Penney, are simply a clown of the highest order. For a start, just who *did* you “Have to agree with them”? you ignorant fool.

      Diddee-dum-dums! BBC infiltrator and liar Arthur Penney adds his name to the list of lying and dishonourable posters to this and many other sites.

      Arfur! = Ah, f*** orf!

    In respect of the climate change hoax, the erroneous blaming of CO2 and ourselves, for allegedly making the planet warmer, may I recommend the following book by David Archibald:

    “Twilight of Abundance: Why Life in the 21st Century Will Be Nasty, Brutish, and Short”

    which I recently bought for my Kindle.

    The true culprit of everything climatic – the sun, it’s moods, the sunspot cycles, and the Maunder and Dalton minima, and the eventual catastrophic effect that the oncoming global cooling will have on us all, is juxtaposed against the cretinous foolishness of bent scientists, and dumb politicians (who are blinkered into believing, foolishly, that the earth is warming), and highlights the way in which civilisation is going. It isn’t going to be a picnic, and it certainly isn’t pretty.

    We just seem to stand by whilst all and sundry court disaster. God help us all.

    It should be mandatory reading, for everyone.

    I see that Catlin group – the insurance company which brought us the ill fated 2009 Catlin Ice Survey

    http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/15/top-ten-reasons-why-i-think-catlin-arctic-ice-survey-data-cant-be-trusted/

    has now moved into another project – the Catlin Seaview Survey

    http://www.sponsorship.com/iegsr/2014/03/03/A-Non-Traditional-Partnership–The-Catlin-Seaview-.aspx

    no doubt , a BBC investigative team will be pursuing the apparent conflict of interest issues here with the utmost vigour…

    The climate models are not very good. Climate scientists don’t know what they are talking about.
