https://nypost.com/2025/12/10/opinion/insurance-companies-are-making-record-profits-off-climate-change-panic-not-facts/ By Roger Pielke Jr. The headlines are relentless, loudly proclaiming that ­climate-fueled extreme weather has caused an insurance crisis, reflected in dramatic rate increases for homeowners and businesses. Some warn that total economic collapse may soon follow. But as is often the case when it comes to apocalyptic warnings related to climate change, real-world data don’t support the narrative. In reality, the insurance industry, which provides coverage related to hurricanes, fires and other extreme events, is enjoying a streak of record profits. Defenders of high premiums say it’s because it’s much more expensive to insure homes because of climate change. But the…

Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) when he casually dismissed the deadly ambush attack on two National Guard members in the nation’s capital as an “unfortunate accident.” “With reference to the unfortunate accident that occurred with the National Guardsman being killed,” the Democratic lawmaker began. “Unfortunate accident?
