that is, would you sacrifice your essential human quality, the element which by definition is responsible for your humanity to be in a complete state of blissful ignorance (imagine the feeling to be something like the euphoria of inebriation) for the remainder of your life, with no hope of an afterlife? Do you think this would be a wise choice? I think this is one that is hard to answer...

The Facts:
"One in ten youngsters suffers mental problems as behavioural disorders double in 30 years " - the Independent
"One in four Europeans will suffer from a significant episode of mental illness during their lifetime. Mental health problems account for approximately 20% of the total burden of ill health in Europe. In the EU, the economic costs of mental health problems are high: at least 3-4% of the gross national products. - Health and Consumer Intergroup
"20 per cent of women and 14 per cent of men in England have some form of mental illness. 18 per cent of women have a 'neurotic disorder' such as anxiety, depression, phobias and panic attacks, compared with 11 per cent of men. An estimated one in 20 people will have serious - or clinical - depression at any one time. By the year 2020, it has been estimated that clinical depression will be second only to chronic heart disease as an international health burden. - BBC Health

On July 14 the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial suggesting that the evidence for global warming is weak. In the October 2006 issue of Scientific American, scientists offered a challenge to the Wall Street Journal editorial staff.

Here is a quote:
“Many of the world’s leading climate scientists are prepared to meet with the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal and to include in that meeting any climate skeptics that its editorial board wants to invite.”

Of course finding climatologists who are skeptical of global warming will be a challenge since virtually 100 percent agree that the evidence is strong. Even reports commissioned by the Bush administration agree with the climatologists. The only report sited by the Wall Street Journal editors is one conducted by three statisticians who have no background in climate science!

Do the Wall Street Journal editors have a moral and professional obligation to educate themselves on the scientific data before judging that data?
