Insurance industry insider accuses sector of fudging climate numbers
Original: I work for a major insurer. Much of my industry is fudging the numbers in the face of the climate crisis | Anonymous htt
An anonymous employee of a major insurance company has written a Guardian opinion piece claiming that much of the insurance industry is manipulating or downplaying figures related to climate risks. The insider argues insurers are not honestly accounting for the growing threat of climate-driven disasters like floods, wildfires and storms. The piece has drawn attention for exposing alleged industry practices from within.
Why now: A rare insider account alleging the insurance industry is obscuring climate risk data is striking during a year of escalating climate-related disasters and rising premiums.
