Socialism Couldn’t Save the Glaciers Even if They Needed Saving (But it Will Ruin America)

Left-Wing Experts Agree, “Climate Change” is About Economics (Socialism) Not Climate

If the Seas Are Rising Why Is Private Money Pouring Into this “Doomed” Island Nation?
It’s been over a year since the Maldives was to have been consumed by the Climate Cult’s angry ocean gods. Not only are they still there things are looking up. So, much so that the Democrat’s rising seas narrative is in danger of collapse. Or, at least heaps of ridicule.

Zombies from the Left’s Narrative Graveyard – Gas Prices

The two most important questions in the field are: Are economists’ assumptions of utility or profit maximization good approximations of real people’s behavior?

Disqus Doodlings – no, capitalism requires cooperation – LOTS of it. Part 2 of ??
Yeah, this Treehugger post on Einstein hating capitalism is gonna be a gold mine for blogging fodder.
