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...

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.] Rather than simply pointing out how unproductive the approach of Mises Blog posters has been on climate issues, I want to get started with a list of...

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...

[Update: I copy at bottom a follow-up exchange I had on Bob`s thread with another reader - radio silence from Bob.] Bob Murphy has a new post up at his blog, " CBO Testimony Misleads on Cost of Cap-and-Trade ", that draws attention to a new blog post at the Institute of Energy Research that...

I`d like to see how conservatives can figure out how to bitch about Obama`s new executive order . From WaPo on Monday (Juliet Eilerin) The federal government will require each agency to measure its greenhouse-gas emissions for the first time and set targets to reduce them by 2020, under an executive...

On the heels of my post about Apple leaving the U.S. Chamber of Commerce , here are a few more links and excerpts for eager readers (who have been spared a longer post that vanished into the ether as pixie dust crashed Mozilla and my prior unsaved draft) (emphasis added). 1. The Chamber`s opaque policy...

Since I`m in Tokyo and deprived of Bob Murphy `s enviable access, via talk radio , to cutting-edge climate science, I thank him using his blog to bring it to the attention of his audience (which occasionally includes me). Says Bob (emphasis added): Chip Knappenberger explains the significance (and remaining...

A little birdy told me this story yesterday, which I think I was the first to ”Tweet". ExxonMobil has announced a $600+ million venture with Craig Venter `s advance genomics firm to develop fuels from algae. An Exxon scientist noted: "the potential advantages and benefits of biofuel from...

[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 loved HALO. The original game. Even with XBox Live, neither HALO 2 nor HALO 3 captured the essence of the original game feel. Not only was it a great game, but it had a great soundtrack. I still listen to the album when driving from time to time. One of the best songs on the HALO soundtrack is The...

[Update: I`ve added more background on Exxon, "Malthusians" and productive engagement.] How has Rob Bradley showed his hand? By shutting down reasoned (if challenging) debate at his blog, in the face of comments that were certainly more "free market" than displayed by Rob himself...

[Note: Although the giant snakes I mentioned in my preceding post may have fat tails, I didn't want my description of the discussion between Harvard`s Martin Weitzman and Yale`s William Nordhaus of the limits of cost-benefit analysis to be overlooked, so I have largely copied it below. I've added...
