What are the reasons for government intervention in reinsurance?
The government regulates reinsurance for the same reasons it regulates most insurance: to protect consumers. Government itself can become a reinsurer where the potential for large losses (while unlikely) is too great for an insurer to reasonably risk. The reinsurance by a government entity does not spread local risks throughout the insurance markets, as does private reinsurance. A good example is the US Flood Insurance offered in many areas. This fills the gap between private insurance and the actual risk faced from catastrophic flooding.

How does the polar ecosystem help humans?
The polar ecosystem is basically frozen water that keeps areas like Florida from flooding over. So it pretty much gives us more space to live in.
