Krugman diminishes his influence with that silliness.

I, obviously, don't join you in that judgment. I see Krugman's comment as irony on top of irony.

As for serious disagreements, Krugman makes the point that did not take place. The opponents on the floor of the House did not speak from a different understanding of the science, having worked their way through at some level. But rather simply ridiculed the science.

I would not have used that particularly phrase but the state of the opposition on this point is something we will all regret down the road. It's not a principled opposition, at least not in the members of Congress who speak about it.

We are in deep trouble on climate issues. And the science gets more dire all the time. We need serious conversation from opponents.
