he is a shill for globalism and big government
Well, it's certainly a partisan piece, but I like some of the points he raises, and I think it's inescapable that government regulation is part of action on global warming:
If you take environmental issues seriously, you are led to the need for government regulation of some kind, so rigid free-market ideologues don’t want to believe that environmental concerns are real (although apparently forcing consumers to subsidize coal is fine).
Your link on Krugman shows up 404 for me...
Try this.
I agree government needs to be involved in environmental issues. The problem here is we don't actually know for certain how we are changing the climate. As pointed out, it isn't totally settled science, and if you present an apposing view you're ostracized.
Well, I disagree, If you want to be impractically pedantic, we don't know anything for sure.
Your Krugman link makes a reasonable point - it's hard to know whether the title of this post is useful rhetoric, I think those who aren't so easily triggered will still check the content to see what actual points are being made. Certainly Republicans don't have a monopoly on depravity. I think adopting a common label for ones political opinions is a sign of an unthinking person.
I tune out people from both sides. Krugman is one, but Hannity is one on the other side. Both are ridiculous shills imo. It is a more efficient use of my time to skip over such people, and read those who I know are more intellectually honest.
Maybe I need to take a closer look at the global warming data available.
