Insurers clearly told COP-6 in 2000 that

1. bankruptcy lay ahead unless the problem was solved and
2. the problem was insoluble without Contraction & Convergence
   
   In the Carbon Budget Analysis Tool (CBAT)
   the rates and ratios of climate-damages to growth
   are starkly straightforward in CBAT Domain 4 . . .
   
   The rate of economic growth minus the rate of climate-damages
   potentially overwhelms the economy within decades . . . .
   
   This was already clear and publicy stated at COP-6
   by leading members of the global Insurance Industry.
