When we see records being broken and unprecedented events such as this, the onus is on those who deny any connection to climate change to prove their case. Global warming has fundamentally altered the background conditions that give rise to all weather. In the strictest sense, all weather is now connected to climate change.

Joseph Bast of Heartland Institute rebuked by Bermuda's International Major Insurers and Reinsurers
Representing Bermuda’s Major International Insurers and Reinsurers
May 4, 2012
Mr. Joseph Bast
President
The Heartland Institute
One South Wacker Drive #2740
Chicago, Illinois 60606

Dear Mr. Bast:
On behalf of the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (ABIR) we write to disavow any future relationship with your organization. Recent revelations of the Heartland Institute’s radical position on climate change as portrayed on the new billboard featuring Ted Kaczynski made our association with other parts of your organization untenable.
ABIR members have supported climate science research and believe that public policy action is necessary to address this important environmental issue. We have supported the work of Eli Lehrer’s insurance reform project, but we can no longer support that work via the Heartland Institute.
Sincerely,
Bradley L. Kading
Cc: Mr. Eli Lehrer
