Maybe we should just blame aliens for global warming and they say the only way to end it is for all liberals to commit suicide.
Sounds like somebody been hittin' da happy smoke.
Someone tell Krugman we aren’t as gullible as he is.
Krugman scares me more than the ice sheet too.
Shee Ite.
Krugman is a moron
We just had the coldest winter in an entire generation.
I say “BUNK” to this.
Nobody doubts climate change.
If it wasn’t for climate change — Chicago would still be under a mile of ice.
It’s the Statists who Americans don’t trust.
KKKrugman, the KKKoncern troll.
I hope he lives long enough to see the bottom of the next minimum. Even I might live that long, and I’m 58!
Hey, Paul, the Nobel Prize folks called and said “Yer Nutz!”.
‘Course they said in Norwegian.
My opinion is as follows.
I think that man definitely has had an impact on the environment. But, and it’s a big but, we just have no way of knowing if man has had an impact on long term climate trends.
And, to the extent that man has impact on climate trends, we don’t know how much is man made.
Earth has had a number of ice ages in history. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. All that ice didn’t melt because Cro-Magnon man and Neanderthals had coal fired power plants. Which suggests that natural cycles, which we don’t understand, and have no control over, are what is driving whatever “climate change” the liberals say they are observing.
To the extent that we can clean up the environment, we should do so. However, anything we do should be based on a cost/benefit analysis, not on pie in the sky liberal claptrap.
For example, are the EPA regulations which will cause many coal fired power plants to shut down, really a benefit which override the increased costs we will all bear, if put into effect? The liberals who run our government and EPA are not allowing us to have that conversation.
Positions endorsed by the likes of Paul Krugman, economist and climatologist.
No smoking hot spot1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
It's not an arbitrary question the Greenhouse theory itself demands it.
I GOT IT:
Blame climate change on illegal immigrant invaders!
Article by that noted climate expert Paul Krugman.
Now I don't have to hear form you whining greenies anymore.
Scientists are never wrong. There is no room for skepticism. Listen, I would rather take my chances with climate change than sacrifice my freedom to a bunch of politicians who will take care of the climate ‘for me’. It’s not like the climate has never changed before (with or without humans).
“First, Australia cut global-warming spending and now the U.K. has followed. The British government has cut programs to fight global warming by 41 percent, fueling allegations that the country’s environment minister is a global warming “skeptic.””
Krugman is much better at climate theory than economic theory.
I don’t care about the damn planet. I don’t want to be forced to pay for a planet that I won’t be on 15 years from now. Nobody prior to us cared about the damn planet either. They were smart because nothing has happened to the damn planet that God didn’t plan and we are still here whining, bitchin, and sinning. The planet will survive, but we really don’t deserve to.
yeah, I sound callous. Big deal.
