    The editor is tied into the environmental business (through direct family). This is an agenda, don\’t be mistaken. It will continue because a cause is being served. At this point, it is up to the advertisers.

    I don\’t think it is fair to divulge any names online or further information online. What I say is true, it is not something I came up with. The bottom line is, there continues to be a series of articles in the IJ that has a clear bias and there are both political and personal reasons for these articles. Someone high up in this publication has ties to the enviromental movement. Advertisers need to speak.

    we would have been better prepared with Mr. Gore, instead of the clown that had his brother steal the election.

    Why would someone like yourself admit that you cannot debate the issues? I truly think you can do better. Your post is very immature and has nothing to do with the article. Your political party has played a valuable role in the debate up until about 6 years ago when the debate turned childish instead of one of intelligence. It will be sad the day we see a one party system in America because the other side forgot how to debate. Bill Clinton is a person I beg to differ with on 80% of the issues, but refuse to trash our fine country just because our views are not 100% in sync. Represent your political party in an honorable way instead of trashing it.

    Somehow it\’s peversely gratifying to see the nutbags come out of the closet every time the IJ publishes an article on climate change.

    The usual suspects – under various names -repeat their mantra that it\’s all a hoax -despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. There\’s even a new one this time, \”Hawaii Duke,\” who sees a vast conspiracy, but of course can\’t name names. He\’s probably too busy watching for black helicopters.

    I\’ll give \”Chilly\” some credit for effort – he managed to find some obscure Israeli scientist, who doesn\’t believe it either.

    Trying to get such people to actually read the data is useless. They\’re too busy using these articles as an excuse to attack Al Gore, Democrats and anything else that offends them.

    If they really cared about America and the insurance industry they would be seeking solutions rather than condemning the messenger for giving them information they don\’t want to hear.

    A couple of years ago, before sufficient data had been compiled to verify the reality of the world\’s warming climate and the increasing evidence that man\’s activities are in large part responsible for it, one would have called these sceptics \”ostriches\” with their heads buried in the sand. Today we should apologize to the ostriches.

    HawaiiDuke888 may have a point. Has anyone seen any articles in Insurance Journal from the scientists that are reconsidering their position on global warming? What about the scientists that never agreed with the original hype on this? One sided, and always the same side.

    All indications are that it goes back to the money or the publicity. Gore loves the publicity and the money (carbon credits company), and the people doing the studies probably get government grants (that\’s our tax dollars, thank you very much!). And now we can sell a new line of insurance products.

    It would appear that the media in general will repeat over and over until they make it \”fact.\” Personally, I am sick of it being shoved down my throat.

    Many of you probably remember the hype back in the 70s when we were being told we were entering an ice age. Obviously we missed it when we blinked and went on into global warming.

    They did have one article that counters global warming, but at least 5 or more articles that plugs what is called \”global warming\” or \”climate change.\” While there has been a warming trend in the past years, this is typical of a cycle just like they thought their so-called \”ice age\” would materialize. You can see how mature this crowd is, by making this political as in the post by Rosie. Reputable publications plug both sides since their is a debate on this issue. You are right, the IJ along with other want to keep ramming this down our throast until we accept as fact. Even they think it is fact. Former San Francisco weatherman turned talk show host, Brian Sussman, who is a scholar in this area, was threatened to have his license pulled because he dared to counter the global warming fanatics. These folks do not want free speech on this because they are scared of free speech. They will never talk logical to you. By the way, this has been the coolest winter in years, yet they will still put a spin on it. Just wait until they come out with their ice age tantrums again. I guess if it makes you feel good (or if you have big profit to make from it), then say it!
