Case in point is Kate Sheppard , reporter on energy and environmental politics in Mother Jones ' Washington bureau (previously political reporter for Grist.org and a writing fellow at The American Prospect ), who has an interesting but shallow piece up called " Most Credible Climate Skeptic...

These "tribal truths" seem to fairly summarize modern political discourse - whether in the pages of Mises Daily, in "Tea Party" conventions, in the MSM or elsewhere in the intertubes. It's a point I've been making like a broken record - in order to mask my nefarious agenda...

[This is a work in progress and largely taken from previous posts, but readers might find some value in it in the meanwhile.] 1. Heated but vacuous climate wars On environmental issues in general and climate in particular, find me someone ranting about “Malthusians ” or "environazis"...

David R. Henderson has a nice post up at Antiwar.com , titled "In Defense of Avatar" , in which he takes issue with reviews of Avatar by Reihan Salam and Edward Hudgins . (My earlier comments on Stephan Kinsella`s review of Avatar are here .) I would just note that Henderson has presumed that...

Lew Rockwell has a post up on the Mises Economics Blog - "The Left Fell into the Climate Morass" - that has just come to my attention. I`m not from the left, but as a right-leaning, free-market enviro, I offered Lew a few comments , which I copy below: Lew, I think most of your criticism of...

[I note that Jeffrey Tucker has kindly put a post linking to this from the main Mises Economics Blog pages: A Libertarian Green Responds to Climategate . Readers are invited to note the comments over there, and to comment where their fancy may suit them.] Aaah, the Great Climate Hack! I`m flattered by...

I copy below a comment I just left at Stephan Kinsella `s post on the main LvMI Blog, " Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims ", which I have discussed here in several preceeding posts . TokyoTom Published: November 4, 2009 10:54 PM (minor edits; links added...

First, George Reisman , and now, Stephan Kinsella . I have asked two of our leading lights whether they and libertarians are striving for a self-satisfied irrelevancy on climate issue, or wish to be taken seriously, and they both, with self-professed seriousness, announced that we should, in Stephan...

I note first that I am reminded by a pithy comment from someone else that, despite the length of my previous post addressing John Quiggin `s post on libertarian delusion , sometimes less is more. Writes commenter "ABOM", in a comment made elsewhere and linked back in to Quiggin`s thread (done...

John Quiggin , a left-leaning Australian economist and professor at the University of Queensland, has noted my recent post on the penchant for bloggers and readers at the Mises Blog to attack climate science - are " almost universally committed to delusional views on climate science ", as he...

[Folks, I hope you do a better job than I do at saving draft posts before they`re finalized; I just lost alot of work. This will necessarily be shorter.] I have on numerous occasions tried to point out, to posters on the Mises Blog who have addressed climate issues, the stunning unproductive approach...

In my initial post, on how Austrians strive for a self-comforting irrelevancy on climate change , I copied my chief comment to Stephan Kinsella . I copy below my other posts and some of the remarks I was responding to on Stephan`s thread , including the one that I was unable to post - for some reason...

[Note: Stephan Kinsella tells me he has NOT put my posts on his thread on moderation. I believe him, and so (even as I fail to understand why I was unable to post a particular comment after a number of attempts), as noted I would in my original post, I withdraw my charge that he put my comments on moderation...

[Update: Readers may wish to note the latest developments, as I note in these follow-up posts .] Stephan Kinsella - whom I have engaged before on the ramifications of the decidedly non-libertarian state grant of limited liabiility to corporations - has a new post up on the Mises Blog on global warming...

[note: my title has a bit of snark, designed to point out the emptiness of some anti-Enviro scare-mongering.] A reader of my previous post - regarding Ron Bailey `s review of the concerns that "famine-monger" Lester Brown recently wrote about at Scientific American - points me to a similar...
