Extreme weather events are a key driver of the price rises amongst other things

You know who believes in climate change - insurance companies.

An insurance guy in the FT recerntly suggested that insurance premiums are effectively becoming a carbon tax on consumers. GB News blowhards don't really mention about that when they are talking about the cost of Net Zero.

I guess you could be grateful that you don't live in LA. I wouldn't like to see their renewals.
