Insurance industry cash in on Katrina fear with higher rates

While Oil industry order censorship of federal weather information, Insurance industry cash in with petitioned for higher rates

White House censor prestigious Princeton NOAA climate scientists to protect oil lobby from multi billions of dollars of compensations in New Orleans

By Isiah Scott

Fearing strong public reaction to a direct linkage between C02 and the petrochemical industry, the US oil lobby and the White House are suppressing the truth about hurricanes and increase levels of C02. A group of prestigious Princeton, New Jersey NOAA climate scientists are not being allowed to talk about the new class of killer hurricanes coming this year without a political pre-clearance from the from the White House.

Several insurers have already petitioned the Louisiana insurance Rating Commission for statewide average rate increase ranging from 19 percent to 49 percent. Other states are following the rate increase. These increases are in spit of the industry making 45 billion dollar, after paying out 57 billion dollars in disaster losses in 2005.

The NOAA’s forecast for 2006 hurricane season will be 6 weeks later.

According to Retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr., another active hurricane season for 2006, continuing an active hurricane cycle that began in 1995. Adm Keating, command and chief of the NORTH COMMAND federal army that fought Katrina and Rita and ten other storm last year, while over seeing the New Orleans crisis is also censored by the White House from making any public comments on the coming hurrcanie season.

Dr. Thomas Knutson, a Princeton NOAA scientist whose research showed a direct link between, petrochemicals, climate change and hurricane intensity is been censored by the White Houses. This ruthless NOAA censorship comes at the same time the country learned that the levee repair of the New Orleans is 4.5 billion dollars under funded and behind schedule.

While the Oval Office, EPA and oil lobby, and maintain stream media is suppressing the truth about the connection between increase CO2 levels, the insurance industry is developing new risk management model base dramatic shift warm-water cycle, using data selective applications of many of the Princeton findings.

According to the Times-Picayune, Risk Management Solutions (RMS) will released in May, 2006 new hurricane that estimates that annual insurance losses along the Gulf Coast, Florida and the Southeast, eastern coast of United States will increase by 40 percent. Because the NOAA Princeton findings and other federal weather model analyses are not being made public, so-called “Black boxes” or third-party specialty-information suppliers to the insurance industry are able to create the justifications for increase rates and insurance availability.

Several insurers have already petitioned the Louisiana insurance Rating Commission for statewide average rate increase ranging from 19 percent to 49 percent. In spit of making 45 billion dollar, after paying out 57 billion dollars in disaster losses in 2005, and maintaining a surplus 430 billion dollars, the insurance industry is cashing in on the nation fear Katrina of a local Kristina event.

Led by Allsatate call for triaging insurance coverage and the creation of a national disaster fund. The Oval Office has been working with insurance to quietly shift the cost and financial risks out flooding and chemical containment from business and government to individual households. According to the Los Angel Times the insurance industry effort has “included industry adoption of increasingly sophisticated techniques for analyzing catatastrophic risk, as well as self-imposed limits on how much firms will cover and where”. The industry has already been tightening policy language and reducing cost for home.

The industry has used at risk states of California, Florida and Louisiana as the field proofing grounds for new lower rates models. Southern Louisiana was the national insurance industry open lab before Katrina.

“Cancer Alley”, the stretch of the Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, has more than 140 polluting chemical plants, oil refineries and industries routinely sending their waste discharge downwind or downstream, most into redlined neighborhood that are both black and poor. New Orleans has the nation’s most hazardous Superfund sites and Hurricane Katrina flooded them. According to the E Magazine These five sites include the Thompson-Hayward chemical plat and the Agricultural Street Land. U.S. PIRG reports that Thompson-Hayward prod produced pesticides and herbicides, including DDT and Agent Orange. Closed in 1986, the site was heavily contaminated with dioxin and other toxins. The chemical contaminated sediment in the Lower Ninth Ward, has made the Black the target for one of the new series of toxic waste dumps with the city to save the oil companies and insurance industry from paying hundred of billion of dollars in oil and spills clean up costs.

R MS and so-called Black Box rate companies developed new insurance rates this winter based on Katrina.These new rates models have not been publicly reviewed by any consmer groups.

The New Times has jointed the oil lobby cabal by refused to do a follow up article this year to the article “Katrina, the Mississippi River and the Risks of the Coming Harvest” in the New York Times9/21/05. Mr. Verlyn Klinenborg stated in the article “The traffic in grain is carefully regulated and monitored. The traffic in topsoil and all the chemicals that have been applied to it on midwestern farm is not. The result is an oxygen-deficient dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico and southern section of the East Coast of the United States. Last year that (dead) zone, which can grow to the size of New Jersey, began to appear in March instead of June.

The New York Times and other major media are willfully leaving their readers with an impression that something is up with the way these new and powerful storms are forming, but are not giving their readerships the necessary context or frame of reference to integrate the massive information about the weather.

Nothing is being reported or explained about the thermal structure of the new hurricanes, why the temperature inside the eye of storms are so hot, or the effects of heighten levels of Co2 thermal agents in the Gulf Stream near the entrance to the Florida Keys and how the secondary Gulf streams, winds and currents are running inside the Gulf of Mexico that would impact on the storm course or power.

1,200-mile super thermal beltway
As the national cry from New Orleans financial compensation increases, the oil lobby is very carefully suppressing at great cost, even in the New York Times any critical coverage or connection of the toxic Mississippi River chemical water that forms a long belt floating across the Gulf forms a super thermal beltway to transport CO2 super heated water around the Gulf that aids in the green house effect that super heats the sea water that is transferring addition heat to storms via the Florida Keys into powerful storms.

The EPA, Defense and Homeland Security departments are stonewalling any information or connection between the ultra catastrophic class hurricane and the Mississippi chemical waters concentrating in the Florida Keys and Northern Caribbean. Because of this official informational blackout and misinformation campaign by the oil lobby and Bush administration, main stream media has refused to report on critical NASA information, studies and active hurricane projects that link the chemical toxins to the heighten Hurricane’s temperature in the eye of the storms. The general public is unable to make the critical connection between the increase intensity storms and CO2 green house effect from the chemical toxins in the water and air of Key West Florida.

Almost all scientists agree there is something up with the Gulf Stream, but differ on what it may be. Many scientists are hiding behind Worldwide Warning, rather reviewing the local critical mass conditions of the Mississippi River Plume in order to understand the micro C02 situation in the Gulf of Mexico creating the precondition for ultra catastrophic class hurricanes.

The recharging of Rita is following the same pattern and location of the killer storms Katrina. Forecasters are hard pressed to explain the new category storm beyond just estimating the power of storm based on the Gulf Stream temperature. Gulf people know there is something wrong with the water. Most weathermen are reduced to helpless stating the facts, because of the oil lobby and Bush Administration suppression policy. The weather channels are running specials on mythical supper storms; carefully avoiding saying anything about the oil and chemical companies dumping of CO2 rich waste into the land, water and air.

Learned helplessness and political fear
The media has refused to share critical information with the general public on the other elements that may be influencing the creation of a new class of powerful hurricanes this year. Paul Ginoux is doing major new Saharan dust cloud simulation and forecast work at Princeton University working with the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory that is being kept out the main stream media.

At the core of this critical international Hurricane research is a new integrated understanding of the thermal structure and dynamics of hurricanes and all the thermal agents? That is, power storms like Katrina and Rita have hurricane eyes that is very warm and extends ten miles up from the surface of the ocean. The eye is 20 degrees warmer than surrounding air. The greater the difference in the two temperatures, the stronger the storm. CO2, chemicals, Saharan dust, and other thermal elements in the water and air increase that transference heat that feeds power to storms. They add critical amount of thermal heat to the Gulf Stream and land hot spot impact on storms.

The oil industrial, fearing massive legal suits, has kept critical Hurricane research apartmentialized in order to keep key groups from making the critical connection between oil and chemical heat transference and storm intensity. The general public is somewhat aware of the concept of green house, but not it application to chemical wash in rivers and landfalls. The Princeton Group has been a driving force in trying to integrate all the various NASA and other projects under a unified theory of Hurricane core development.

This core theory increasing points to man-made CO2 agents as a primary factor in increasing the core temperature of storms, not generalized globe warming. The expanding Gulf of Mexico dead zones and Mississippi River plume are central to this new understanding of other element impacting on the thermal structure of hurricanes in North American.

With 70 perecent of Americans living near water,people are looking for meaningful tools to understand the weather.

Because of the Oil lobby and Bush Administrative misinformation the general public remains uninformed. Terrified people were reduced to helplessly looking at meaningless computer simulations of hurricane Rita mid course possible landing points and target cities, based on Katrina. Other Americans are totally unaware of how near the next Katrina maybe to attacking their city. It’s like looking at stock closing numbers and not being able to understand what forces create and drive them.

NASA’s Earth Observatory and other government and university based Wed sites are providing storm updates and impressive satellite images, no in depth analysis and insight.

What is the Mississippi River chemical thermal beltway?
One of the biggest factors blacked out of the media is the fact that there is a large and growing oil and chemical plume that appears as a dark ribbon against the light blue surrounding water. According to NASA the plume remains intact as it flows through the Gulf, the Straits of Florida and into the Gulf Stream. NASA scientists estimated that about 20 billion tons of Mississippi Rives water reached the Florida Straits and Gulf Stream off Georgia coast. This is about four times the volume of Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida.

The toxic Mississippi River oil and chemical water stays together near the surface like a long belt floating across the Gulf to Florida and then flowing up the U.S. Southeast Atlantic coast before finally mixing with the North Atlantic Ocean. This flow of 1,240 miles forms a super thermal pathway to transport C02 heated water around the Gulf and eastern coast of the United States. This man made dead zone knows as a witch’s brew of nutrients and suspended solids has been discharging from the Mississippi River for year.

The Dead Zone extends also along the Texas Coast. This man made dead zone transports heat and function as a pathway that overlaps the Gulf Stream grid that generates hurricanes. The interrelationship of the Mississippi River oil and chemical plume and the Gulf Stream has been suppressed by the oil lobby, but appears to have reached a new critical mass in heat conductivity.

Hundreds of new chemical spills caused by the storm Katrina has changed the deadly chemical mix, increased the toxicity and the C02 content of the Mississippi River water flowing into the Gulf and Florida Keys. Reportedly over 3 million gallons of oil spilled in the Mississippi River during the Katrina storm. The chemically toxic waters also flow down from other cities on the upper Mississippi River. US Environmental Protection Agency detected new higher levels of heavy metals in the Mississippi River. This heavy metal is a good thermal agent to feed storms in the Gulf.

This chemically charged beltway, now extending into the Carolinas allowed for the launching and projection of Katrina class storm deep into the northern heartlands of Northern America.

It’s unclear what the actual order of events are in the thermal dynamics of the Mississippi River Plume is in relation to hurricane intensity. It appears the Plume is a primary element is a Long Island ice tea thermal mixture that feeds storms near Florida.

Heat-trapping carbon dioxide river water
The writer hypothesizes that Co2 in the oil and chemical spilling in the Mississippi River is causing high volumes heat-trapping carbon dioxide in river water. This Co2 water supper heats during the summer time, when the river water temperature raises and comes in direct contact with the supper Hot Gulf stream flow. This creates a localized Gulf El Niño occurrence during the high hurricane season that contributes to the creation of killer storms. The cumulative process of chemical dumping has increase levels of toxicity in the Mississippi River. Since the Bush administration took power, the dead zone and plume appears to have moved to the next critical mass both toxicity and in terms of heat conductivity.

What is known is that the chemicals in the oil plume water carries large volumes of Co2 that retains more heat than the Gulf water? This supper heat plume appears to be is mixing with the Sahara dust cloud and hot spots above the Gulf Stream; this contributes to the supper charging of passing storms. Katrina recharged in the Gulf from a Category 1 hurricane to a Category 5 killer storm in a matter a four days. Rita recharged in less than 24 hours to a Category 5.
Long Island Ice Tea effect in the northern Caribbean

There appear to be a Long Island Ice Tea effect in the entrance to the Florid Keys. That is, a critical layered combo of chemical plume, Gulf Stream, Saharan dust and land/sea hot spots forming the prefect storm mixture. As suggested by the New York Times, the early arrival of the annual dead zone may have in the Gulf regional pH and green house levels.

The biggest oil industry concern has been destroying any direct linkages between its chemical leaks in the Mississippi River and the new hurricane destructiveness. The Mississippi River Plume connection is a new threat, which is being suppressed by the oil lobby and mainstream weather reporting.
