Hi Gary,I live on the eastern seaboard of Australia....this year we may be looking down the mouth of the first cyclone season in forty years....if last nights storm was a teaser...its going to be a very scary time indeed.....I've only been in South East Queensland for ten years and the weather has been pretty mild in spite of drought etc....but those winds last night...only lasted twenty minutes....scared the life out of the kids and,I admit,scared me too.

Hi k'sha, yeah, we do tend to take things for granted but the weather is changing, slowly but surely!

How many are manufactured disasters?
What is a re-insurance company?
That article is from the point of view of an insurance company, “world's biggest re-insurance companies”, obviously only concerned with $$$### using the old argument “greenhouse gases emitted by human activity”, humans blamed for global warming and global warming is a bad thing and the major assumption that all those missing, presumed dead are humans.
I am thankful I know better than to listen to propaganda.
