Also, with respect to climate, the Times story undercuts its credibility by stating right at the outset regarding poor Dave Langston in Iowa, that "as disasters have become more frequent and severe, his insurance company has been losing money." In point of fact, and despite the insane hype of recent years, there has been no increase in weather-related disasters. Moreover, the very beating heart of the climate crusade, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), itself is quite clear that no climate signal is yet detected in patterns of extreme weather events. This by climate scientist Roger Pielke sums up the IPCC conclusions.
The IPCC does expect climate related extreme weather patterns to appear in the future. But with regard to most forms of extreme weather, it so far has "Low Confidence" in detecting any climate caused uptick at this time. "Low Confidence" in IPCC lingo means virtually no studies detect a statistically significant link.
