Within weeks, what was a 30 member alliance became a shell of a dozen minor insurance companies. The NZIA has effectively admitted defeat \u2014 announcing that members won\u2019t need to set or report on their carbon targets. Phew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021 many stars of the insurance world rushed to join the global climate activist cartel\u00a0 \u2014 the Net Zero Insurers Alliance (NZIA) \u2014 which would have turned their industry into another branch of\u00a0 the global UN and WEF climate police. The plan was to make it hard for unfashionable businesses to get insurance unless they went \u201cNet Zero\u201d and followed the policies the UN and WEF billionaires wanted. Democracy be damned. This effectively would have dragooned the coal miners, airlines, farmers, and publishers \u2014 practically everyone who needs insurance, into setting \u201cNet Zero\u201d targets above and beyond their legal requirements. All businesses would have to say the right prayers to the Carbonista Gods if they wanted to get insurance. Lord help any company that spoke against the regime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the cabal succeeded they would effectively shift power from elected governments to the people who wrote the NZIA rules. In January the NZIA had 29 members with $8 Trillion dollars US in assets under management. They launched their new \u201ctargets\u201d at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unepfi.org\/industries\/insurance\/launch-of-nzia-target-setting-protocol-version-1-0\/\">Davos at the latest World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting<\/a>\u00a0with the billionaires on skiing holidays. How convenient?\u00a0 But the Republican state attorneys general started talking about \u201cantitrust violations\u201d and sent NZIA members formal legal letters in mid May \u2014\u00a0 whereupon the insurance companies bolted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand just how pervasive and insidious this scheme was, look at how&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.persefoni.com\/learn\/net-zero-insurance-alliance\">one carbon software company enthusiastically described i<\/a>t. Insurers had to report on carbon emissions from their entire portfolio, which meant pestering all the companies they insure to get them to cough up the data . Then they could decide whether to drop the \u201cbig polluters\u201d (like those legal companies providing the electricity they used), or badger them some more to reduce their emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persefoni.com\/learn\/net-zero-insurance-alliance\">How can insurers reach net zero?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step in an insurer\u2019s journey to reach net zero is to measure the carbon emissions from its own operations, investment portfolio, and underwriting portfolio. The former is the easiest part. To measure emissions from its portfolios, an insurer needs to gather data from the companies in them, including assets held by policyholders \u2013 a difficult feat for most insurers to do accurately and regularly. However, with the right data management tools, insurers can start to baseline the companies or entire industries in their value chain and identify the largest sources of emissions.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Then it\u2019s up to the insurer to decide whether to drop the biggest polluters from its portfolio or take steps to help them transition to net zero,<\/strong>\u00a0such as by providing guidance and incentives in its underwriting or claims management to adopt low carbon technologies or processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of how much the whole free market concept has been destroyed. Instead of serving customers, entire industries are trying to change Earth\u2019s weather. In this case the people meant to be helping others spread the costs of storms, floods and accidents become their Nanny-managers, ordering them to sacrifice cows to Gaia to stop the storms before they start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of how much the whole free market concept has been destroyed.

But all insurers ultimately need money, so they are no doubt badgered themselves by the biggest financial institutions in the world. See how this web of coercive power builds? NZIA may be effectively neutered for now, which is great news, but the Big Bankers and Billionaires are still out there colluding. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unepfi.org\/\">\u00a0UNEP\u00a0 \u201cFinance Initiative\u201d<\/a>\u00a0managed the insurers cabal but\u00a0 it also manages the banker one \u2014 called the Net Zero Banking Alliance or variously known as GFANZ. The banker collective is the $100 Trillion dollar black hole starting to swallow national economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best US Republican states are fighting back against the Bankers, and they\u2019re pegging them back, but the battle is not over. BlackRock is singing a slightly different tune now to what it was a year ago.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2023\/01\/backlash-blackrock-ceo-says-attacks-on-esg-investing-are-getting-ugly-and-personal\/\">ESG has become a dirty word<\/a>, but the coercion has almost certainly just gone underground.\u00a0 Larry Fink may\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6291317\/larry-fink-esg-climate-action\/\">not want to use the term anymore<\/a>, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2023\/03\/how-larry-fink-turned-your-pension-fund-into-leftist-activist-machine\/\">he has turned your pension fund into leftist activist machine<\/a>, and the underlings at BlackRock are still\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2023\/06\/these-guys-run-the-world-blackrock-recruiter-caught-boasting-about-buying-senators-cheap\/\">bragging behind the scenes about how they \u201crun the world\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and buy off US Senators.
