Di Kevin Carson. Originale: The Climate Denial Machine’s Fake Statistics Just Keep On Coming, del 18 ottobre 2023. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. In un precedente articolo dicevo di Ron Bailey (e gli “esperti” climatici da lui vantati) che su Reason si baloccava coi numeri del pil nel tentativo di minimizzare i danni causati dai cambiamenti…
In a previous column, I examined the way Reason’s Ron Bailey (and the hack climate “scientists” he showcases) have toyed with GDP statistics in an attempt to downplay the harm from climate change. It looks like Ron and his buddies have some competition in the “Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics” category — it’s coming from…

Di Kevin Carson. Titolo originale: GDP: The Last Refuge of Scoundrels? dell’undici aprile 2023. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna.

The problem is that “extreme poverty” is defined in monetary terms, as living on less…
Now I want to preface this essay by stating the fact that I am, by and large, against the usage of single-use plastic goods. We absolutely need to transition away from such things as fast as possible, and should look for functional alternatives to all such goods. But, that’s the key word: functional. Truth is,…
La natura lovecraftiana dei mari che si sollevano Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale pubblicato l’undici aprile 2019 con il titolo ‘The Land Shall Sink’: The Lovecraftian Nature of Sea Level Rise. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Nel 1917, H.P. Lovecraft così scrive nel racconto Dagon: “Sogno un giorno in cui [le cose senza nome] sorgeranno dalle onde…
In 1917, H.P. Lovecraft wrote the following lines in his short story “Dagon”: “I dream of a day when [the nameless things] may rise above the billows to drag down in their reeking talons the remnants of puny, war-exhausted mankind—of a day when the land shall sink, and the dark ocean floor shall ascend amidst…
Kevin Carson: “If you look at the range of estimates for reductions in oil supply over the next generation or so, it looks awfully similar in scale to the environmentalists’ targets for reducing CO2 emissions.”
