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...

[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...

Last year around this time I criticized Reason science correspondent Ron Bailey , for a rather empty post trumpteting dark warnings of "green fascism" in the wake of last year`s grain shortages. This year Ron is back, with a new post out (" Never Right But Never in Doubt ") in which...

CEI funds, staffs and supports the relatively young, growing and interesting " Bureaucrash " grassroots libertarian social action site , by which CEI tries to tap into some of the discontent with government that has bloomed over the Bush presidency. I`ve opened an account there and cross-posted...
