The philosophy dept. snubbed again.

Nicholas Provenzo at Rule of Reason has a good post on "Save Net Radio" or Save the Free Market"

Andy Clarkson at The Charlotte Capitalist is blogging again with a post on enviromentalism and its mysanthropic nature. Andy says in part:
The environmentalist's case thus rests on the proposition that they don't like the fact that existence exists, that it has a certain identity and thus causality. All of their proposals are thus focused on fighting the nature of existence -- and nothing else.So very true.

Lubos Motl at The Reference Frame posts on more record lows in Chile with links.
Was Al Gore giving speeches there?
Lubos also has a good post on CO2 saturation for those laymen like me who would like to know more about the science of GW. He is largely responding to attacks on him over at RealClimate.com.

If you don't have a subscription, I urge you to get one. It is well worth it.
