Joe,
That Krugman latched onto a science fiction idea (thanks for reminding me about the show) is hardly surprising. He seems to think of himself as Hari Seldon and the field of Economics as Psycho-History.

By the way, it is not an original idea: See the “Architects of Fear” episode of the original Outer Limits TV series, staring Robert Culp.

Somewhat embarassed, didn’t read the cited article and so didn’t know the global warming scare had already been noted. Geez,,, ah well.

I pray that people, especially the average democrat baby-boomer demographic, finally wake up to the utter fraud that is our modern academia, our mainstream median and our pop culture celebritard icons. Their narrative is ruining this great country person by person by permeating a rot of self- indulgence, government entitlements and an anti-american sentiment while simultaneously fanning flames of division by race, by religion, by economic class and by gender. No one will know who to trust and what to believe asa result, and this country will be ripe for riots and ruination. November 2012 can’t come soon enough!

Let’s see, you have a Nobel Laurette advocating deception by scientists for “the greater good”. This is the same guy who uses his stature as both an economist and a Nobel prize winner as a bludgeon against his critics (again, for the greater good). You don’t suppose that the good doctor is practicing the deception he is suggesting do you? You know, like is he making arguments he doesn’t really believe in just to achieve some other, greater goal? How can anyone trust (not that any rational person currently does) what he says ever again? Apparently Krugman hasn’t fully thought out the implications of his suggestion, as usual.

This idea would be different in which particulars concerning man made global warming?

To the Left, scientists are the new high priests of society with science as the grand illusion and science fiction as its opium for the masses. Karl Marx and Siggy Freud would be taken aback by the sheer boldness and arrogance of today’s Left. On the other hand, Orwell would be snickering with delight. Everytime one of these elitist, secular humanists mentions the travesties of “the Dark Ages” and the travails of Gallileo, they should burst into flames for their pure hypocracy, instead a putz like Paul Krugman gets facetime on each alphabet Sunday morning week in review show.

What should actually horrify you is that this is how the Left operates. In their mind, they are right; they should not lose any argument, because anyone with an ounce of sense should see that their way is the only way. Statements like Krugman’s are the last gasp of a demonstrably false ideology. They know that their worldview has been proven wrong over centuries, yet they persist. If they weren’t so powerful, they’d deserve our pity.
