WASHINGTON--Climate change is a critical issue to insurance regulators because insurers and consumers "will be among the first to feel the effects" of it, Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Sean Dilweg told a Senate committee yesterday.

Testifying for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners at a hearing held by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Mr. Dilweg said "the evolution of climate science is of keen interest to us as regulators, and is a key tool for the companies we regulate."

The hearing was on Climate Science: Empowering Our Response to Climate Change.
