[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...

[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...

I noted in a previous post that Rob Bradley , CEO of the Institute for Energy Research and lead blogger at MasterResource , has cheered on big coal and bashed what he calls "Malthusian anti-energy crusaders", but ignoring while he does so the questions of (1) whether there are any legitimate...

Lubos Motl , a bright young Czech physicist with a winning way with those he considers idiots*, has decided to cogitate on fiat money and the US`s screwed up monetary system, and proposes to peg the dollar to the Dow : You might think that I am going to defend the gold standard or something of this sort...

Chris Horner of CEI has long been a near one-man band in attacking the excesses of the left with respect to concerns about climate change (while appearing to forget concerns by some on the right, corporate heads, scientists and defense/intelligence analysts as well). I think Horner from time to time...

[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...
