...and since when are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions 'weather'.

I'm not saying there is no merit to climate change simply that the premise here isn't very solid.
There are about 3.5 billion more people on the planet right now than there were in 1970. That's a lot more houses and whiners than there used to be ..... just a lot more targets.

And we're going to 9 billion people soon enough.

Maybe its happening, maybe its not but insurance companies have a lot more to do regardless.
