  1. Wrong again bucko. Step away from the right wing propaganda. Try real science.

    AGW is not the primary cause of the issues with coral reefs -- as scientists who study reefs in detail have outlined over and over.

    Correct. Man's time on Earth is limited. There is nothing you can do about it and the time that conditions will be favorable for man's existence on Earth is an insignificant window in the life of our planet. Enjoy life while you can.

  5. Clearly this man has no kids or they hate him / he hates them.

    A classic sociopath boomer not giving a damn about the mess he makes, no class or grace, just a head in the trough.

  6. 2017 Set a Record for Losses From Natural Disasters

    Insurers are set to pay out a record $135 billion to cover losses from natural disasters in 2017, the world’s largest reinsurer said Thursday, driven by the costliest hurricane season ever in the United States and widespread flooding in South Asia.

    Insured losses from weather-related disasters were at a high, making up most of the $135 billion. Munich Re executives warned that losses would continue to escalate.

    “Some of the catastrophic events, such as the series of three extremely damaging hurricanes, or the very severe flooding in South Asia after extraordinarily heavy monsoon rains, are giving us a foretaste of what is to come,” Torsten Jeworrek, a Munich Re board member, said in a statement.

    The United States made up an unusually high share of global insured losses last year — about 50 percent, compared with just over 30 percent on average.

    While it was still difficult to attribute individual weather events to climate change, he said, “our experts expect such extreme weather to occur more often.”
