Global Warming Costly!

Swiss Re, the world’s second-largest reinsurance company, recently warned that the costs of natural disasters caused by global warming is threatening humanity with a catastrophe of its own making. In its report on how climate change is nearing the top of the corporate agenda, Swiss Re said the cost of climatic disasters threatens to double to $150 billion per year in 10 years.

Global warming is expected to trigger increasingly frequent and violent storms, heat waves, flooding, tornadoes and cyclones while other areas get colder and dryer.
