[Warning: Snarky. Sorry, but as I got going I couldn`t resist.] 1. As I noted on several Mises wildfire threads last year , a 2006 study showed that the wildfire season in the West has increased on average by 78 days over the past three decades (1987-2003 vs. 1970-1986), with the average total area burned...
Yes, NF3 (nitrogen trifluoride) is a potent GHG. But its use in electronics manufacturing does NOT make a significant AGW contribution, much less one greater than coal. More at Rabbet Run and Real Climate . Alarmists being ... reasonable? While the "reasonable" are being alarmist ? Maybe the...
It looks like Lubos woke up on the wrong side of bed. BELOW is the type of "rational", "dispassionate" response that my previous attempt at discourse with Luboš Motl has earned from that fan of Bret "Mass Neurosis" Stephens . Just who is "sick-souled", anyway...

[snark on] One of Sean Corrigan's threads brings us not only more information on handy Misesean definitions, but a path towards Yuletide joy. (For those of you who have not been reading them, Sean's columns and comment threads are truly gifts that keep on giving.) In this case, we learn more...
[Snark alert; See update at bottom] The Mises "Daily Article" for December 11 presents "Are Carbon Emissions the Cause of Global Warming?" a brief, unfootnoted post by David Evans , a self-acknowledged non-expert (who has once previously graced the LvMI blog) offering a "very...
