Exactly, it has nothing to do with oil companies. The insurance companies are one the biggest beneficiaries hiking up premiums due to the global warming scam.

Do you have evidence that premium increases are predicated on lying about global warming?

What about real estate, banks and the transportation industry?

Not at all.

There are many factors that affect the bottom line.

You guys are the ones claiming that any association to climate change is a bold faced lie for profit and you haven't proven that claim.

And again if we are to humour the idea that only lies beget profits then the opposite must be true if you want to remain logically consistent.

In which case, oil companies like Exxon are also lying when they deny the existence of global warming to rake in the $$$.

And interestingly enough, you can't prove global warming.

Let's just call it a draw then, eh?

The scientific case has already been made.

Now that you finally concede the obvious logical flaw in your lying profit motive, you can bring any evidence you like to dispute the scientific consensus.


I know it's tough to argue something you have no evidence for.

convenient truth : anyone that can make ill booten gotti off a situation that they don't have to even agree with.

inconvenient truth : ragers, alarmists, career manipulators, hucksters, money grabbers, whiners and doomsayers...making money for the long fukkin' term.

GW is a scam... insurance companies are taking advantage of this scam by raising premiums.

What about real estate, banks and the transportation industry?

I exhale a condescending sigh in your direction.

Here's an IBC (insurance bureau of Canada) statement from 2012:

"Our weather patterns have changed. If we just look back over the last 30 years or so here in Canada we see the trend is unequivocal," Forgeron said.

"The number of severe weather events double every 5 to 10 years."


Climate change concerns raised by insurance industry


2013 is definitely not the start of this and I find it hard to believe that insurance companies would want to continue bleeding money by paying for these claims.

Since when is the insurance industry a definitive source for global warming models?... Were they part of the peer review group for IPCC?
