This is interesting. Fred L. Singer, Jr. is founder and president of CEI. He’s perhaps against AGW but he has other plans:

Republicans should work to reform policies that have encouraged people to locate in earthquake zones in California, flood plains along the Gulf, and fire-prone areas throughout the West. They should join with environmentalists and others to encourage reforms that would allow private insurers to price risks, thus encouraging development outside of hazardous areas.

CEI’s president wants to depopulate what he thinks are hazard prone areas by way of higher insurance costs.
