Stakeholders from the insurance industry met with members of the U.S.
Senate to acknowledge the role global warming plays in extreme
weather-related losses, and to issue a call for action.

The politics of global warming have typically involved much debate as
to the role climate change plays in growing weather-related risk.
Yesterday, however, at a Capital Hill a press conference on the cost
of climate change, debate was not on the agenda. Pointing to a year of
history-making, $1 billion-plus natural disasters, representatives of
Tier 1 insurance companies took a definitive stance with members of
the U.S. Senate to confirm that costs to taxpayers and businesses from
extreme weather will continue to soar because of climate change.
