The Associated Press recently dug up some “experts” to diss President Donald Trump as being too nasty for the Nobel Peace Prize, since he -- gasp -- "does not believe in climate change." But one of the recipients of the elitist honors in the Nobel Economics Prize is is a climate-obsessed economist who advocates a distorted concept of “creative destruction” through green policies to wreck the fossil fuel industry.
Climate organization Heatmap reported October 13 that Nobel winner Philippe Aghion views “carbon taxes” as just one instrument in a tool box to force the economy into a climate-friendlier era.
Heatmap wrote that in a 2023 interview, Aghion viewed government “subsidies to green innovation, and more generally green industrial policy” as other necessities for a supposedly effective climate transition. As Heatmap summarized, “Aghion argues that climate policy needs to hit hard and hit quickly, precisely to induce the kind of competitive innovation that he thinks drives economic growth. ‘If you wait longer, firms will be even better at dirty technologies, and it will take longer before their skills on clean technologies catch up with their skills on dirty technologies, and so you need to act promptly,’ he said in 2023.”
Bastardizing economist Joseph A. Schumpeter’s “creative destruction” theory built from a reliance on capitalist market forces by shoe-horning government policies into an attempt to dismantle an entire industry that American consumers rely on for energy doesn’t really sound Nobel-worthy. That’s, of course, if you take out the fact that the Nobel Committee itself is a collective of eco-fanatics masquerading as unbiased judges.

The Nobels have been woke garbage since Al Gore won one over twenty years ago.
Norge does the Pieces Prize.
Sverige does all of the rest.
Who cares about the Noball Socialists.
It's the Nobel committee's decision to award their prizes to anyone for any reason. However unfair.
It's their award to dispense however however they choose.
That said, the Nobel awards lose cred for their choice and their gauzie rationale.
(And, the less DJT says about this, the better it reflects on DJT.)
Yasser Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.
His group took over the cruise ship Achille Lauro and threw the elderly Mr. Leon Klinghoffer over the side to kill him and then tossed his wheelchair after him.
Yep. That was the moment I lost ANY respect for whole "Nobel Prize" Foundation.
If Trump even cares about sometime getting a Nobel Prize, he is a lesser man than I think he is.
,,, get Nobel prizes into packets of cornflakes. Everyone’s a winner!
This is a fake Nobel Prize having nothing to do with Alfred Nobel. Economists are really politicians in disguise, with all the sliminess, but none of the likability. They falsely use the word "science" to add a bit of respectability to the profession, however it is an embarrassing art that gets almost everything wrong 90% of the time. It can never be a science, or anything close to it. Big government uses economists to push more and bigger government at every opportunity. Like man-caused climate change, it's all a big lie by leftists to take more of your money and crap more on your standard of living.
Cons never give up the con. Both Mars and Venus have over 97% CO2 atmospheres. On Earth CO2 is only .04%. This is because plants have become so efficient in pulling CO2 from the air. It is actually a good time to be a plant with mankind adding all that extra CO2. The World is even greener now!
True! There’s no chance DJT would ever win the NPP. He’s not sufficiently anti US. Obama won after his “US Apology Tour”. Period.
Nobel Prize certificates, the new toilet paper...only problem it chaps your ass and mind.
Trump’s Nobel haul will not be until next year. These prizes are awarded for previous year’s work.
Kind of silly, Trump wasn’t going to get the Noble Peace Prize for Economics.
The Nobels have been some kind of garbage (maybe not "woke") at least since Kissinger got one. Later Arafat got one.
Forget about it. ;)
