NY Times Paul Krugman: Rick Perry Daring To Question Global Warming Is “Vile,” The Right Is “Anti-Intellectualism”…
Paul Krugman is smarter than us. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.
Republicans Against Science — NY Times, Paul Krugman
Jon Huntsman Jr., a former Utah governor and ambassador to China, isn’t a serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination. And that’s too bad, because Mr. Hunstman has been willing to say the unsayable about the G.O.P. — namely, that it is becoming the “anti-science party.” This is an enormously important development. And it should terrify us.
To see what Mr. Huntsman means, consider recent statements by the two men who actually are serious contenders for the G.O.P. nomination: Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.
Mr. Perry, the governor of Texas, recently made headlines by dismissing evolution as “just a theory,” one that has “got some gaps in it” — an observation that will come as news to the vast majority of biologists. But what really got peoples’ attention was what he said about climate change: “I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects. And I think we are seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change.”
That’s a remarkable statement — or maybe the right adjective is “vile.”. . .
And the deepening anti-intellectualism of the political right, both within and beyond the G.O.P., extends far beyond the issue of climate change.

Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman. Says it all.
Who would believe this asshat?
And Paul Krugman sets the standard for what is intelligent, and what is not?
No, Mr. Krugman, we’re just anti-douchebagism and you know, those sound Keynesian principles you are so fond of and refuse to see their utter-failure in practice.
Who’s anti-intellectual now?
RTS
Great point ohio, I have to start remembering to bring that up.
UNDERGROUND by Barack Obama
Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance,
Tumble in the
Rushing water,
Musty, wet pelts
Glistening in the blue.
What an intellectual!
There will be cartoons someday with a little bearded Krug character running around shouting total dumbshit stuff and other little characters beating him every episode.
Krugman – STFU…… last time I checked my biology book, CO2 is part of a symbiosis process of photosynthesis where CO2 is converted into energy by plants…. opps…. guess they dont teach that in school now….. global warming is a fraud, just like you bud….
Perry has only recently joined the globule warmin’ skeptic ranks just like that his now anti illegal immigration proclamations.
Perry like Kerry is an opportunist not to be trusted.
But money, power and control is now the name of the game as regard climate change. Never mind the junk science that has been shaped into the biggest scam that humanity has ever seen.
Not a good omen for those of us that are still free thinkers…
The NEW YORK SLIMES needs to go bankrupt they grey lady needs to retire and krugman should sell pencils on 5th ave and we can tear down the TIMES building and build a McDonalds or Burger King there
Douche would shit on his mater plants for fertilizer.
the G.O.P. — namely, that it is becoming the “anti-science party.” This is an enormously important development. And it should terrify us.
I’m looking at krugman’s pic, and thinking
I’ll bet it doesn’t take a LOT to ‘terrify’ this tool
Remind me again what you got your ‘nobel’ prize for? was that before or after your advising Enron?
Why hasn’t the obongo admin lined you up against a wall and capped you for that involvement? hmmmm?
Republicans Is Against Junk Science!!!
SAY NO TO GLOBAL WARMING HOAX
SAY NO TO JUNK SCIENCE
More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims – Challenge UN IPCC & Gore

Ferret-Face doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground…but there is one thing obvious…the leftist-loons are in a state of desperation and despair with the messiah they elected.
Ya gotta love it!
‘”Call me crazy”
I trust in the Almighty God, a whole lot more than Huntsman, Kruger, and all of the scientists in the world.
God made this planet, and all that is on it, for mankind, and he made it to heal itself when man leaves it alone to do so. When man puts himself above God, and thinks he can do a better job then he is in trouble.
Just look at this planet, it’s size and scope. The way it goes through cycles of heat and cold, of rain and snow, summer, winter, morning and night, never any changes for thousands of years, yet man has decided that we are ruining it. What balderdash!!
God gave us oil, fossel fuels, and many other wonderful things for our use. He gave us water, and a marvelous way to grow food after it’s kind. We know Corn seed won’t make beans. It is all planned. Yet, the Al Gores’ , Krugmans, false scientists, and foolish people that worship the created, and not the Creator!!
Listen to the Luddites talk about science. Funny stuff.
I think Paul Krugman could more accurately be called a ‘Rationalist’, because he tries to rationalize his own bias as objectivity.
It was not just the democrats who took advantage of environmental issues to make money. Politicians give new meaning to the term “money grubbing.”
* Should have said, false scientist CAUSE foolish people
If you can’t believe a Nobel prize winner,
who can you believe?
What are we doing in this country? Stupidity should not be given a platform. I know we have freedom of speech, but to be bombarded by this guy’s stupidity day after day needs to stop.
He was part of Enron which lost huge chunks of people’s life savings and retirement. He should just find some little college somewhere and gone into hiding.
Paul Krugman: Nobel prize winna and part time Pappa Smurf impersonator.
The MAJORITY of real scientists are centrists or conservatives.
MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING, BIOCHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, MEDICINE, AERONAUTICS, BIOLOGY
Libs like to say they’re represented in sciences…you know what THEY call “science”? Psychology and Social Sciences!!! Bullshit.
Same BS, different day. When liberals can’t debate and win, or when the poll numbers scare them, they immediately go to name calling and making up shit. I wonder when they’ll start calling Rick a racist due to his skepticism, which is merely a statement of the facts.
Mr. Krugman is very astute.
His statement is like calling the Democretins the anti tax party.
So, intellectualism says that natural phenomena that have been occurring for thousands of years are suddenly and unexpectedly just now starting to happen? Am I understanding this right?
The Chicago and European Carbon Tax Exchanges was to amount to billions and billions and REAL SCIENCE threatens the whole junk science “carbon credits” fraud. PANIC!
Stop the stupidity Mr. Krugman. Shut up.
The scientists at Great Britain’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) admit to using statistical sleights of hand to change the temperature record, so as to show more warming.
And then, in a total flouting of the scientific method, they tossed out all the original raw data so that no other scientist could check their work.
Remarkably, a panel — including a number of persons who stood to gain financially from a global-warming panic or who were personal friends of the accused — found nothing wrong with what the CRU scientists did.
Move along; nothing to see here.
Given the growing body of evidence showing that human activity has little if anything to do with global warming, it is time to stop questioning Governor Perry’s beliefs and turn the questions the other way.
It would be good to hear the media ask candidates who support the tenets of global-warming theory why they believe it is worth putting a huge and unsustainable burden on an already weak economy.
Make no mistake about it, the warmist agenda aims at nothing less than a curtailment of individual freedoms and the further destruction of our economy.
You can’t be rich if you’re energy poor. When did this become something Republicans could support? For that matter, when did it become something thinking Democrats could support?
The warmists always claim to be great believers in science and math. So here is a math problem I want them to solve.
We know that GDP and carbon use are closely correlated.
In fact, given the current state of technology, the 60 to 80 percent reduction in carbon emissions the warmists call for would reduce our GDP by approximately 40 percent.
The problem therefore is simple:
How are the warmists going to find employment for the people thrown out of work by a downturn twice as deep as the Great Depression?
What about Obama is pro science? What’s he done, what’s he doing?
go on.. believe the Perry hype..
they point at their objective
you have been warned..
please, don’t be fools.. Freedom does not come on a quick turn..
you should ALL know better..
Republicans are anti pseudo science like Keynesianism, Stimulusism, Socialism, Global Warming, etc.
Republicans love science. We reject scientism.
In certain liberal circles, the idea is that it is OK to lie to achieve the “moral good”. Many many liberals are doing it now on a routine basis.
It’s become quite common.
It is wrong.
Doncha just love how guys like Gore and Krugman, who have no scientific credentials, can make such irrefutable scientific pronouncements?
I believe in factism..
I don’t think that term has really been defined..
some things are tried and ‘true’.. some things are immutable..
that’s a personal feeling of the definition of ‘factism’
I’m a zealot.. yes, I know, facts are ‘always’ bad.. that’s why I do what I do..
nuff respect do to all the other fact ‘lovers’ who come around here.. even if they are scared of evil..
New Jack City is a framework..
Mr. Perry might seem the skeptic in public but he is an alarmist when it came to gardasil, the pharmaceutical industry with mental health and global warming skeptics like “dont mess with texas” i t could read no te quejes de Tejas in translation, 8 give or take, years now condi rice gave Perry the shot to stardome when she issued the so. of the border state advisory warnings. while he dares take a pluse now and then it’s him that needs the tuning fork. lol
gardasil..
what if?.. I don’t need to fill in this blank.. if you have a daughter and live in reality you will see the value..
but choice in culture is the point of America.. gardasil is the vanguard of sexuality..
tough choice in a world being changed by the ‘ruling class’

Ha, I scanned these posts and have a unique perspective.
Today, Obumbler named the economist Krueger to the position of chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
A list of the top 50 economists lists Krugman at 15th and Krueger at 36th.
http://ideas.repec.org/top/top.person.all.html
So if Krugman rates 15th and is a global warmin freak, where do we now stand with Krueger?
krugman sets the gold standard for a fucking idiot.
As chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Krueger’s salary would be $191,300 a year. In his last full year as a professor at Princeton, Krueger made $369,807, according to his financial disclosure report.
Krueger supplemented that income with consulting, board memberships and speeches, including $7,000 from Goldman Sachs for a speech in June 2008.
As council chairman, Krueger would again be working with National Economic Council director Gene Sperling, who left Treasury earlier this year to replace Summers and also drew money from Goldman before joining the administration, earning $887,727 for advice on that company’s charitable giving.

This is a part of the latest scripted attempt by Liberals to seize the narrative:

“What is the difference between what something is, and how it appears?”
- John Locke, Essay concerning Human Understanding
.
“Darwinian theories of evolution were combined with genetics, palaeontology and systematics, which culminated into a union of ideas known as the modern evolutionary synthesis.[15] The synthesis became a major principle of biology as it provided a coherent and unifying explanation for the history and diversity of life on Earth.”
But it in fact remains a Theory! Not provable not unprovable. Just a thought as to what might have and continue to be happening. NOT FACT!
PLEASE!!! Somebody let me know when the Peter Principle will kick in on Krugman!
The NEW YORK SLIMES building needs a good quake that would ruin thousands of never to be bought news papers
Coming from the Enron adviser? Lmao!
I’d love to have an honest debate about the human contribution (if any) to climate change but unfortunately leftists with an agenda falsified and destroyed actual evidence so there’s just no knowing what’s really going on. Convenient for the fear mongers eh?
Careful there Gov Perry, AlGore is gonna blow out his inner chakra when he hears about this. You dare question the great Oz? The science is settled (or we’ll call you a racist)..
Did the “Profit Gore” ever get around to mentioning that our atmosphere is only ~ 0.039% CO2? You can’t even see it on a pie chart. 1 marble out of a box of 3000 marbles is a CO2 marble. Soo, it’s rather plain to see that if you add a small sliver of another C02 marble to the box that you’ll trigger a warming apocalypse. Oh wait.. huh?? That would have to be one hard working sliver fragment!
That said, through the magic of life process plants are astonishingly able to extract that carbon from the air. In our office for example there’s an ivy that’s probably around ~ 100′ long. Yet it’s roots are in a tiny pot, and the tiny pot soil level never goes down. All it gets is water. The plant took everything it needed to build its entire 100′ of carbon structure from the air (amazing!).
Similar with say, Douglas Firs in the Pac NW. They grow 200+ feet high, huge beautiful trees, straight up. Yet they have a relatively tiny root ball (they tip over ~ easily), and the soil area never goes down. All that lumber they make comes from the carbon in the air (truly amazing!)..
Naturally occurring global warming is real; man-made global warming is a scam. I’m pretty sure everyone with an IQ over 70 knows this by now.
Anyone here ever read the boxes on one of those “green” lightbulbs? They contain far more harmful chemicals (to both the environment and humans) than those evil non-green bulbs, that’s for sure.
Paul, or should I call you Mr. Krugman to honor your high position in life?
I am thinking of starting to raise meat rabbits but am unsure if this would affect the global warming crisis. Would this be permissible or would I too be a vile, Anti-Intellectual, for attempting to be more self sufficient?
If you determine that it is permissible which breed would you suggest? The White New Zealands, Californians, or Florida White’s? I bow to your superior intellect.
@lawn lizard
Perry’s response when asked about the mandate:
His third question from the crowd was about an issue that his critics have touched on — his 2007 mandate for girls to get vaccinated against the cervical cancer-causing HPV virus.
“I signed an executive order that allowed for an opt-out, but the fact of the matter is I didn’t do my research well enough to understand that we needed to have a substantial conversation with our citizenry,” he said. “I hate cancer. Let me tell you, as a son who has a mother and father who are both cancer survivors.”
Perry said he’d invested government resources in cancer cures, adding, “I hate cancer. And this HPV, we were seeing young ladies die at the early age. What we should have done was a program that frankly should have allowed them to opt in, or some type of program like that, but here’s what I learned — when you get too far out in front of the parade they will let you know. And that’s exactly what our legislature did…”

Your beliefs are based on fanaticism! Not fact. To paraphrase Henry Kissinger, the majority of your arguments lack the added advantage of being true.
@Country_Hick
Your comment contains an astute observation. The erosion of self-reliance is the objective (or consequence) of almost every program or idea promoted by the Left. And some of their programs, like welfare, opt for the complete destruction in a single blow.
Thank You Katherine.
Official now: Styrofoams Cups (and coolers and take out containers) are now banned in CA!
Light Bulb Ban ……Perry and Niki Haley (gov,SC,R) both have manufactures waiting to keep us supplied in REGULAR Light Bulbs.
AND …The “”NEW”" stoplights that are Eco-Friendly do not work.
They do not generate enough heat to melt snow or enough light to see properly in rainy weather.
RESULT: More Auto Crashes.
The intellectual elite got us into this mess.
I am so cute and will always be. Have you ever seen a cuter fiftyish bow-tied manchild genius?
This krug”man” has everything a neurotic desperate housewife needs.
Who gave the idiot a microphone?
Maybe I’m just ignorant because I come from Texas, but I didn’t know that biologists studied climate change. I thought that was the field of expertise of climatologists and meteorologists.
The NEW YORK SLIMES and ALL THE SLUDGE THATS FIT TO PRINT
We’re coming Paul hang in there!
Because being intelligent is wholeheartedly believing in hypothoses backed up by either no data or forged data in order to raise taxes and cripple businesses.
