Not exact matches

He estimated that insured losses for the global industry would total between $ 20 billion and $ 30 billion, which would put the storm on a similar scale to Hurricane Sandy, whose storm surge caused flooding in New York in 2012.

Forward - looking statements may include, among others, statements concerning our projected adjusted income (loss) from operations outlook for 2018, on both a consolidated and segment basis; projected total revenue growth and global medical customer growth, each over year end 2017; projected growth beyond 2018; projected medical care and operating expense ratios and medical cost trends; our projected consolidated adjusted tax rate; future financial or operating performance, including our ability to deliver personalized and innovative solutions for our customers and clients; future growth, business strategy, strategic or operational initiatives; economic, regulatory or competitive environments, particularly with respect to the pace and extent of change in these areas; financing or capital deployment plans and amounts available for future deployment; our prospects for growth in the coming years; the proposed merger (the «Merger») with Express Scripts Holding Company («Express Scripts») and other statements regarding Cigna's future beliefs, expectations, plans, intentions, financial condition or performance.

(11) Instead of Jarvik, a more convincing yet unlikely spokesman would be the popular Duane Graveline MD MPH, a former NASA astronaut, and author who was started on Lipitor during an annual astronaut physical at the Johnson Space Center, and 6 weeks later had an episode of transient global amnesia, a sudden form of total memory loss described in his book.

Standard allocations to bonds have traditionally helped to lower crash risk, but incorporating the systematic global macro strategy would have gone even further; for example, when the S&P 500 was down 16.8 % in October 2008, a 60/40 portfolio would have reduced total portfolio loss to 11.0 %, but a portfolio holding 30 % in systematic global macro would have experienced only a 5.8 % loss in that month.

The total 2000 — 2008 mass loss of ~ 1500 gigatons, equivalent to 0.46 millimeters per year of global sea level rise, is equally split between surface processes (runoff and precipitation) and ice dynamics.

Thus, the concept of an emissions budget is very useful to get the message across that the amount of CO2 that we can still emit in total (not per year) is limited if we want to stabilise global temperature at a given level, so any delay in reducing emissions can be detrimental — especially if we cross tipping points in the climate system, e.g trigger the complete loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

However, if global warming is your concern, it's important to note that severe weather was not the only or even the main culprit for 2011 — about two - thirds of the total damages and about half of the insured losses can be attributed to two non-weather-related disasters: New Zealand's February earthquake and Japan's earthquake and tsunami in April.

As the rate of ice loss has accelerated, its contribution to global sea level rise has increased from a little more than half of the total increase from 1993 - 2008 to 75 - 80 percent of the total increase between 2003 - 2007.

A timeline of where, how and when that «reposition global warming» phrase first showed up is something global warming believers would hate, since it might prompt a total loss of faith in the validity of that central accusation point.

Also according to the IPCC, a 4 °C increase in temperatures would cause total estimated economic losses of 1 — 5 percent of global GDP.

However, despite this, the team reckon to have perhaps isolated a «global warming» signal in the accelerated run off of the Greenland Ice Mass — but only just, because the runoff at the edges is balanced by increasing central mass — again, they focus upon recent trends — a net loss of about 22 cubic kilometres in total ice mass per year which they regard as statistically not significant — to find the «signal», and a contradiction to their ealier context of air temperature cycles.

Drawdown's yield model calculates total annual global supply of crops and livestock products based on their area of adoption in each of the three scenarios, and global yield impacts of each solution (including both gains due to increased productivity per hectare and losses due to reduction of productive area due to adoption of non-agricultural solutions, e.g., loss of grazing area due to afforestation of grasslands).

Global Witness also revealed an oil deal involving Gertler's Nessergy company which ultimately saw Congo lose out on $ 150 million: the combined total of potential revenue losses comes to $ 1.5 billion.

Current total ice - loss in Greenland is running at an estimated 200 Gte / yr and Antarctica at 150 Gte / yr (with ice mass gain in the east and loss in the west — with some estimates of a net gain)-- at that rate of 1mm / yr, by 2100 the global ice - loss would raise sea level by a little over 3 inches.

Forest change data sets on Global Forest Watch show loss in total tree cover, which may include both planted and natural forests.

But one modeling study put the threshold level for the eventual near - complete loss of Greenland's ice sheet at a local warming of just 2.7 C — which, due to Arctic amplification, means a global warming of only 1.2 C. Total melting of Greenland — luckily, something that would likely take centuries — would raise sea levels by 7 meters, submerging Miami and most of Manhattan, as well as large chunks of London, Shanghai, Bangkok and Mumbai.

Additionally, around two - thirds of the world's largest global corporations are exposed to water risk, especially in terms of water security and stress, with 405 companies reporting total losses due to water scarcity of more than $ 2.5 billion in 2015.
