Comments on: Krugman, Friedman: those opposing cap and trade are traitors or worse http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2009/06/30/strong-disapproval-for-those-opposing-cap-and-trade/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:49:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: CanadianObserver http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2009/06/30/strong-disapproval-for-those-opposing-cap-and-trade/#comment-327123 CanadianObserver Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:18:47 +0000 http://www.dinocrat.com/?p=11016#comment-327123 Krugman is a more dangerous idiot than Friedman - this bug eyed communist is a denier to other truths - up here in Montreal last evening it was really cold after two days of on and off thunderstorms. We have had few days of consistent heat. Climate change - maybe but we had this type of rainy summer in 1992 Global warming - hogwash although this past winter was not too too cold; though not as cold as the winter of 2003/04 when it was -36 celsius for several days.

If there is such a stink about carbon dioxide, what about water vapor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect When these gases are ranked by their contribution to the greenhouse effect, the most important are: water vapor, which contributes 36–70% carbon dioxide, which contributes 9–26% methane, which contributes 4–9% ozone, which contributes 3–7% Krugman is an joke.

When these gases are ranked by their contribution to the greenhouse effect, the most important are:

water vapor, which contributes 36–70%
carbon dioxide, which contributes 9–26%
methane, which contributes 4–9%
ozone, which contributes 3–7%

Krugman is an joke.

How's being an apologist for the thugs or Iran working for yours (and O's)? Thanks, Paul, but I’m against cap and trade and my soul’s just fine.

The other day I saw an article from him about Iran. He wrote that there was a perfect approach the US could take. Raise taxes. Gas taxes, in particular. He said that the US government should increase gas taxes by $1/gallon. Yeah, that'll show 'em! (The theory was "it will reduce demand, and cut off the market for Iranian oil." Left out of that calculation is that oil is fungible, and in case of reduced demand the oil which is most expensive to pump will be the first to be shut down. This distinguishing feature of petroleum from the middle east is that it is particularly cheap to produce, so it will be the last to be turned off. In other words, world demand for petroleum would have to decline very precipitously before the Mullahs lost their oil income, absent a naval blockade.) Krugman is really a prize.
