There will be a point where the reinsurance industry throws their hands up and tells the insurance companies to go fish.
FEMA will close shop.There won't be anymore federal disaster relief.1st-responders will say !adios!
What were the profits due to global warming? Where can I look that data up?

Until population decreases due to increased deaths (as opposed to decreased births), the evidence just isn't there. FEMA probably should go away. People shouldn't be insulated from the risk of building their homes below sea level, or in flood or tornado prone areas. People have the right to buy the level of insurance they are comfortable with. It's up to insurance actuaries to calculate the risk.
