"Property rights are the solution."

Sure; somebody tell China quick!

Give it a rest for crying out loud.

Whether global warming is occurring or not is actually completely irrelevant. Property rights are the solution.

re: The Road Not Taken IV: My other hysterical comments on climate science & how Austrians hamstring themselves

ls, I appreciate your interest and considered suggestions, which sound good. There was an earlier point when I had more comments, but they seem to have tailed off when spam grew.

Are you suggesting my posts are too long generally, or just this one?

However, you might note that some of these longer posts serve the additional purpose of broadcasting, backing up and keeping available comments I`ve made elsewhere.

Do other blogs get more comments? I suppose that even w/o comments I feel that at least people are listening, as I get between 20-40% of user blog traffic at any time.

Thanks again. I must be doing something right, too, if I`ve got you biting your tongue on negative comments!

For climate fever, take two open-air atom bombs & call me in the morning; "serious" suggestions from Kinsella & Reisman!?

First, George Reisman , and now, Stephan Kinsella . I have asked two of our leading lights whether they

Keith, thanks for your comment; I`m glad somebody agrees! But not simply Hayden`s letter; it`s the penchant of Mises Bloggers and readers to post and swallow this nonsense that is so amazing and appalling.

FWIW, you might note that Exxon appears to have changed its tune (if not its stripes) and is expressly advocating carbon taxes:

re: [Update- apology] The Road Not Taken III: Stephan Kinsella plugs his ears on the Austrians` obstinate, willful irrelevancy in the climate debate?

Conza88, you misunderstand me. If libertarians have the slightest interest in persuading anyone, they kinda have to actually, you know, TRY.

Hayden's letter was outrageous.

Nothing chaps my hide worse than someone thinking they spoon-fed me garbage and I was too stupid to know it.

It's one thing to lay out some facts and then spin it in full daylight for all to see, but it's something else to to actually get paid by big oil and only scratch up a few feeble-minded and wrong subjective sentences.

Exxon/Mobil should drop him and at least try to find a better adversary. Someone not so terribly lazy.
