    Just so I\’m clear, are you folks seriously saying there is no global warming? That\’s not even under debate anymore. The question now is what is creating the warm up, nature or people. You would really need to be living in a state of denial to say it\’s not happening.

    or not its part of a natural cycle or man made. Also whether its harmful or not.
    Just because al gore cooked it up doesnt
    mean its true to the extent he claims.
    Weather cycles have been occurring longer
    than we\’ve been around. Some of us suspect its als way of getting onstage with other democratic presidential hopefuls. By the way, its probably his only hope, since otherwise he is as unimportant as he\’s always been. I saw his docudrama. Very persuasive, and if you had no other information its entirely believable. Good news – we have plenty of time to see if he\’s right or wrong.
    Another reason I can wait to reach a conclusion. I have observed Hollywood
    jump all over the latest greatest cause
    before. Just because an actor says its does not make it true.

    One wonders how rigorous an evaluation of the facts was conducted by the WA Ins. Commissioner to assign the increase in losses to global warming.

    It would be prudent to investigate how substantially the insured values have grown due to development activities over the last two decades.

    It\’s entirely possible that the increase in losses is far better correlated with the dramatic increase in insured values rather than either frequency or severity of storms.

    Blasphemy I paid this guy good money to line up on our side. I mean come on what do insurance commissioners even know about insurance let alone global warming. Fools buy carbon credits early and cheap—at payalgorenoworlater@justanothertaxonthemiddleclass.com

    Kreidler must have forgotten about the Columbus Day storm here in 1963, and the inauguration day storm in 1993. Is that looking too far back when considering long term climate change and ripping off taxpayers by sending our tax dollars to sri lanka?

    How about the Friday the 13th storm in 1983. Memories fade in the face of a politician looking for an issue.

    Yes Reality Check yes —attack the non believer with rhetoric and ambiguous statments-ridicule him for his ignorance. We have paid for many statistic to prove man is the sole cause of global warming and how our planet is dangerously warm. You are a good and loyal comrade-or as lenin used to say \”useful idiot\”.

    I\’m surprised the insurance commissioner didn\’t talk about cat losses in 2006 being only $9.2 billion. If weather events are getting worse due to global warming, shouldn\’t \’06 have been worse than \’05. Oh.. that\’s right, there was an El Nino, that brought in cooler water. Funny these guys couldn\’t predict that in early 2006, but can predict the temp 70 years from now… Yeah right!

    Curious. If an insurance company tried to increase its rates because of “Global Warming” the Washington DOI would immediately reject the filing if it could not be justified with a detailed statistical analysis proving the correlation between projected loss costs and expected changes in the climate. Moreover, even when a statistical correlation can be proven, such as the correlation between credit scores and personal lines losses, the insurance commissioner has established laws limiting their use simply because it is not politically correct. Yet, our insurance commissioner can testify before congress that global warming is not only absolute fact but that it is largely caused by human activity (something that is NOT universally agreed upon in the scientific community) based on nothing more than flimsy, anecdotal evidence.

    Reality check-pay no attention to these nay sayers Larry Gil and Dale are puppets of the capitalist devil bush. We have study this now for almost 10 years and we have paid good money to people so that they will confirm we know all we need to know about climate change. Buy my carbon credits now before I raise the price and drive these industrialist pig dogs back to the stone age where only I and those I choose will have the right to emit carbon in any form!
