This does not mean that Munich Re and others like them are promoting a scam. But insurers naturally tend to emphasise any risks in order to encourage people to insure against them. It's their business. It's how their markets work.
What it does mean is that comments by an insurance company about 'climate change' (or indeed any other risk) are not to be taken as disinterested scientific statements. Insurers are in business, and every business has an agenda.

First, you make yourself appear dishonest by referring to Pachauri as simply a "businessman": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajendra_K._Pachauri#Background
Second, do you really think one man is responsible for the mountain of science that supports climate change theory? If you do, you really need to spend a lot more time reading the science before attempting to comment on the issue.
The point is that non-climate-scientist Pachauri (who delivered a flawed presentation at Copenhagen, see Monckon's rebuttal) has accumulated financial interests in the dubious AGW agenda and cannot therefore be considered disinterested. The IPCC is being headed by a businessman.
