"I have some new graphics to show you this year that really help
to explain the science and bring it down to a level that most
people can understand," Gross said...<br>
He added that he makes his usual promise when discussing this
controversial issue: "I am not an advocate, and do not accept
ANY information from advocacy groups. I am not trying to promote
a point of view. Rather, I am a fiercely independent scientist
who has earned your trust over many years to ONLY bring you
science directly from the scientific community.".</div>

launches two reports that warn of growing protection gap due to
rising impact of climate risks</a><br>
<font size="-1">7 December 2016 – ClimateWise, a global network of
29 insurance industry organisations which is convened by the
University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership,
has warned of the urgent need to address the growing $100
billion annual climate risk 'protection gap' in two new reports;
Investing for Resilience and the ClimateWise Principles
Independent Review 2016....</font><br>
<font size="-1">The two reports were launched today at a breakfast
briefing with over 100 delgates from across the insurance
industry including ClimateWise members. Since the 1950s, the
frequency of weather-related catastrophes, such as windstorms
and floods, has increased six-fold. As climate-related risks
occur more often and predictably, previously insurable assets
are becoming uninsurable, or those already underinsured further
compromised....</font><br>
<font size="-1">The economic impact of these natural catastrophes
is growing quickly, with total losses increasing five-fold since
the 1980s to around $170bn today. Over the same period, the
average annual protection gap has widened quickly from $23bn to
$100bn today, according to analysis by ClimateWise member, Swiss

support banks to better understand the risk exposure that their
mortgage portfolio is facing from climate change, on the basis
that if banks are more aware of the risks the properties they
are lending to might face, such as the knock-on effect of a loss
