A major insurance company is suing Chicago-area municipal governments saying they knew of the risks posed by climate change and should have been better prepared. The class-action lawsuits raise the question of who is liable for the costs of global warming. [...]
“What the insurers are saying is: ‘We’re in the business of covering unforeseen risks... But we’re now at a point with the science where climate change is now a foreseeable risk.’”

If they lose they'll just hammer taxpayers with exorbitant rates while paying legislators to cap their liability limits. As if they didn't do that already.
America, land of the free-to-sue-whatever-and-whoever-you-want
