Insurance Companies for Climate Research
“Since when do insurers care about climate research?” you may wonder. If you are wondering as well, you would do best to ask RSA Insurance Group, a global insurer with its headquarters in London, UK. RSA’s operations in Canada are more dedicated to marine insurance, but their decision is important even for no medical life insurance.
RSA recently announced a alliance with the World Wildlife Fund. The synergy is a win-win result; it will serve both “the right thing” and also a business goal.
Obesity and Global Warming
We now have another reason to shed those unwanted pounds. It has been reported that Obesity is a contributing factor to Global Warming. Yes; can you believe it! If we didn’t have a big enough problem to deal with on the weight loss issue; it now appears that us porkers may be affecting our planet (and when I was jogging I thought that the groan I heard was in my head but it might have been Mother Earth complaining about the pounding I was giving her!)
ABC News reported on May 16, 2009 and The New York Times reported on July 18, 2009, about a new study that has suggested that obesity is affecting the planet by raising carbon emissions.
