Its analysis of the state of the AGW scam was devoid of fact, devoid of analysis (only partly because it didn't consider any facts), skirted over every single issue and completely failed to engage with the disastrous economics implied by applying Carbon Tax. The UK is heading to hell in a hand-basket because Chris Huhne is destroying our energy industry and applying a gigantic flat tax on every unit of electricity used.<br /><br />The coalition government will be voted out purely because of this egregious tax at the next possible opportunity. Now that is surely what the Economist should be discussing.JohnofEnfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956357754029961499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-33408782183410466352010-11-26T06:55:38.677-08:002010-11-26T06:55:38.677-08:00Alan Caruba is correct of course except that the E...Alan Caruba is correct of course except that the Editors of The Economist are not idiots but are truly corrupt villains bent on helping to deceive their readers and as many of the public as they can influence.<br /><br />It is a great mistake to think these people are fools.

I am surprised that you in North America have already a copy in hand whilst I am still waiting for mine. That's an aside.<br /><br />I fully agree with your view that the science reporting of said publication has been going downhill since the start of this century; a change of ownership and editors perchance?<br /><br />Yet, I can recall reading a very good article in 1993, in which the reporter said someting to the effect that ...communism has lost its credibility (this was a couple of years after the fall of the wall in Berlin, the symbolic end of the Soviet empire) ...don't be mistaken, people in the West that used to support communism is going to find a call to rally around... the environment, and environmental issues, is going to become the new battleground for the the old communist supporters...<br /><br />This prediction proved to be absolutely spot on, and this rot has now penetrated to the very core of this once proud publication!<br /><br />I am not giving up the fight, as I continue to post comments on the web site of said magazine.TheJollyGreenManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991876897738240105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-65664775182430957172010-11-26T03:48:28.551-08:002010-11-26T03:48:28.551-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Bluejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363348692456477111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-26427413214697145622010-11-26T03:47:53.786-08:002010-11-26T03:47:53.786-08:00I agree.

This is a very bold statement considering that 2010 started with the coldest NH winter for 30 years and the SH winter was the coldest on record. The Argo data sets show sea surface temperatures cooling. So not a good start for the second warmest year. And to state that it will be the 2nd warmest ever assumes that we have accurate temperature details since the earth was formed. Another guess based on hope and assumption. Another case of model runs that have poor information input and wrong assumptions as to how the atmosphere actually works.Bluejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363348692456477111noreply@blogger.com
