Catastrophic droughts, floods and heatwaves: climate change is making environmental disasters increasingly common. Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks wants the G7 to look at insurance policies as an alternative to traditional development aid. […]

Man made climate change is nonsense, except when they make artificial snow for skiing.
Ted Cruz should A. print out the top 100 global warming predictions that never came true B. get a copy of any Sunday NY Times help wanted section from when Reagan was president to show what the good old days were like, and C. compile a list of every crime illegals have committed in the past decade and create easy to understand graphs of the devastation imposed.

There ya go.
D.C. is looking at a similar plan now for Americans.

It’s only makes sense.
