An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
Human's contribute about 3% of total global CO2, and CO2 is a trace gas making up about 0.04% of the total atmosphere… but our emissions drive climate change? PLEASE. I reckon earth's natural cycles + the sun are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more powerful.
I find it crazy that people familiar with post-keynesian economics - and therefore familiar with how terrible economic models are - can at the same time not apply that critical thinking skill to climate models. I reckon it's cause many post-keynesians are Lefties/progressives/environmentalists/etc. … so they have no interest in AGW-Climate Change being nonsense. They have no interest in challenging that viewpoint because they agree with the policy prescriptions regardless. I also happen to agree with most of the policy prescriptions, but I refuse to base them on lies and ridiculous models. Truth first and foremost, otherwise we're all just faciscts but for different particular interests.

What?! The sun may have something to do with climate/temperatures on earth. Nah. That can't be the case.
