Points about media and climate skeptics

[edit]

The following text was commented out in the article. It will need a fair bit of work to make it NPOV and sourced, if it is to be included in the article... --Singkong2005 11:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BULLETS FOR EXPANSION
* Invariably the media "balances" climatologists with one of the handful of global warming skeptics, accepting the minority skeptical agenda by treating global warming as a matter of opinion (requiring balance of opposing points of view) instead of fact (requiring appropriate sourcing) [1]
* The Wall Street Journal, strongly global-warming-skeptical, (falsely) claimed that environmental groups were trying to make capital out of the Asian tsunami. [2]

The reinsurance giant Swiss Re, has said that if the shore communities of four Gulf Coast states choose not to implement adaptation strategies, they could see annual climate-change related damages jump 65 percent a year to $23 billion by 2030. “Society needs to reduce its vulnerability to climate risks, and as long as they remain manageable, they remain insurable, which is our interest as well,” said Mark D. Way, head of Swiss Re’s sustainable development for the Americas.[1][2]

Regarding recently reverted content

[edit]

Hey @אלכסנדר סעודה:! Thanks for your recent edits, and I appreciate your effort to add content to this page. However, the two are not really linked closely enough to the content. The one about the Bezos charity doesn't work well here because that is a personal charity. The one about Davos doesn't work because that is only kind of business-adjacent. However, I suspect that you could add those to other pages (the Jeff Bezos page? The Davos forum page?).

Thanks for your additions! Jlevi (talk) 01:33, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

World Economic Forum section

[edit]

Hi אלכסנדר סעודה. The section you added only sources from the World Economic Forum itself. Is there any secondary source coverage of this group to help address WP:weight concerns? If not, then the section seems too detailed for the article right now. Jlevi (talk) 14:43, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I think it whould not be difficult to find secondary sources about the issue. I will try to find them and add to the section.
