Quote of the day from commenter MikeHu, re Earth Treason:

The actual 4.6 billion-year old planet, survivor of multitudes of asteroid hits, Milankovitch cycle changes, magnetic pole reversals, solar and cosmic radiation, myriad volcanic caldera collapses, mantle plume eruptions, etc., etc. doesn’t give a rat’s ass about a few degrees Celsius or what idiots like Krugman think.

Krugman can’t be an idiot. They wouldn’t give him a Nobel Prize if he was, would they? No matter. I’m guessing Gaia not only doesn’t give a rat’s ass what Krugman thinks, she doesn’t even know what the Royal Swedish Academy and the Karolinska Institutet are, she didn’t see Al Gore’s movie and she didn’t vote for Obama. But I’m guessing, if she knew what they were, she’d think carbon offsets are dumb.
