    Dear Mr. Bear, yes I know, all the scientists are wrong and you know better. We have not come any further than the middle ages. It is all monkey see, monkey do. By the way, sorry for the typo and thank you for your excellent correction. And I wish a good life for you also, Mr. Bear. Did you consider hybernation for all futute CATs?

    What I love about the Gorebal warmers is that so far, their concerns have not translated into action. As is the American way, they want others to make changes but refuse to make any changes themselves. So the tree huggers here still fly, drive cars and refuse to manage forests to avoid very predictable forest fires. Between Washington, Idaho and Montana we lost 1 million acres of forest. Absent land management thats what happens after 50 years. Maybe the most effective way to slow co2 emmissions may be to once again manage forests, but the hand wringing greens want us all to walk instead.

    What’s Guiliani got to do with fires in CA?

    Did you see during the Sunday night NFL game that they were lighting their studio with cancles, then they showed an empty skyscraper that was all lit up in green to show solidarity with the communists – er, envirowackos.

    I have the perfect solution to global warming. If only every politician and bureaucrat would not open their mouths anymore, the quantity of hot air that wouldn’t be released into the atmosphere would be staggering. But we must do our parts; stop listening to government crooks and maybe they’ll stop talking; as an added benefit, the number of people dying from boredom listening to those clowns would fall drastically.

    It’s one thing to report the news, it is another thing to push an agenda and gives one side of the story. Have you heard of anyone in this industry be worried about global warming besides the IJ? This publication has an agenda and it is not the agenda of the industry, it’s an agenda to fullfil their own politics. Advertisers who agree that this is an agenda should stop advertising. Give it a few hours and this post will be removed.

    Hey HD, I know where you are coming from. I had a post that only stayed on about 30 seconds before they pulled it. No cussing, no bigotry in it at all. Just was my take on the whole Gorebull warming scam on how they want a worldwide tax and Gore has much to gain with his Carbon Offset company. I bet this one won’t stay on long either, so read fast. So much for free speech.

    There is no more conversation about whether or not its happening or the cause – that’s so yesterday!!! My liberal friends are so exasperated that I still have questions that they will barely speak to me. The hollywoods gave him an award for what I thought was cartoonish, they thought was documentary.
    He got the Noble peace prize the day after the BBC revealed he exagerrated most of the talking points in his docudrama (my favorite is still Towering inferno but inconvenient half-truth is a close second). Follow the money, my jaded associates. For certain success, when Al buys, buy. When he sells, sell.
    The greatest liklihood of raising sea levels is if Al falls out of his private jet into the ocean.

    However paranoid Hawaii Duke might be, I doubt the IJ would waste their time removing his ignorant comment. Plus even he’s entitled to his opinions.

    However, maybe he should take some time to consider that the IJ publishes news that concerns the P/C insurance industry, which certainly includes global warming.

    As far as the sources for that information are concerned, they include all of the United Nations/IPCC bulletins, and those of leading insurers, reinsurers and brokers. Hey, Duke take a look at the following web sites: Swiss Re, Munich Re, Allianz, AIG, Lloyd’s, Marsh, Aon,Willis and Benfield for openers. They’ve done a lot of research on the subject and have tried to alert the public in general and the insurance community in particular to the potential impact of changing climatic conditions.

    You might also take a look at the numerous U.S. government projects that are examining the same phenomenon – NASA, the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP),The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Snow and Ice Data Center(NSIDC) and a number of others.

    To make it easy for you Duke, why not just type in “climate change” on the IJ web site. It’s all there, if you want to look at it, but then that’s the question, isn’t it.

    “To make it easy for you Duke, why not just type in “climate change” on the IJ web site. It’s all there, if you want to look at it, but then that’s the question, isn’t it.”

    Brilliant! If you think IJ is biased, why, just read all they’re posted on the topic to be convinved that they aren’t!

    A. Dr. Hanson at NASA, the chief warming alarmist, has taken $700,000 from George Soros fronts to promote his climate alarmism.
    B. The UN is a bunch of communist and Muslim thugs whose scientific publications serve only to retard capitalism and limit individual freedom. C.Insurers and reinsurers on the warming bandwagon can’t lose by pushing the alarm button, since if they can convince their policy holders that there is good reason to raise their rates, THEY MAKE MORE MONEY.

    You can go back to sleep now.

    It’s all about taxes, people, and taking what liberties we have left away forever. Just listen to the Democrats carefully. They can’t spew a position or plan without going into our wallets. Unless many wise-up, we are going to lose our country and way of life. Just ask yourselves: Where has socialism worked?
