Krugman’s corny caper

Tom Nelson observes some interesting and inconvenient data to rebut The Guardian’s Susanne Goldenberg and Paul Krugman of the New York Times: For warmists trying to convince us that carbon dioxide causes lower US corn yields, an *extremely* inconvenient graph
[Warmist Suzanne Goldenberg] …because of a brutal combination of triple-digit (40C) temperatures and prolonged drought. Scientists see both as evidence of climate change.

[Warmist Paul Krugman] I’ve been searching for something useful to say about the epic heat wave and drought afflicting U.S. agriculture…
Yet with so much of the American political spectrum in fierce denial over the issue, there is no prospect whatsoever of getting action.
But the data says otherwise Ms. Goldenberg and Mr. Krugman. Have a look for yourself, one year, one drought, does not a trend make. But Krugman is relying upon the heated hyperbolic opinion of Joe Romm, so I suppose we can understand how he was taken in.

These people must be great thinkers! NOT.
An independent think tank followed his ever changing views on deficit spending, and what do you think they found? When a democrat is in office, deficit spending is AOK with Pauly, but as soon as a republican darkens the door of the Oval Office, deficits are the bane of mankind.
Yep, Pauly won a Nobel Prize for that fabulous fantastical flip flop. (Lefties love giving each other shiny awards and titles, to fill out their empty suits!)
Of course Antonio Egaz Moniz of the University of Lisbon Medical School, was also awarded a Nobel for his work, on lobotomies. Maybe we should get them together...
Years ago it was prestigious and people who did great work earned one. Now all you have to do is lie and have the right kind of handshake. Homour amongst thieves.
