Lysenkonism lives!
UPDATE:
My point here was simple, and in all of its particulars complete (or as complete as it needs to be when dealing with a boob and ideological hack like Krugman). However, that doesn't mean that other were not more prolix on the matter. Take Stephen Barr at First Thoughts:
...this morning, I read the statement of that noted physicist Paul Krugman proclaiming that to doubt the global warming peril is “treason against the planet.” One can hear the rumbling of the tumbrels, the crash of the guillotine, and the roar of the crowd in the background. Treason Against the Planet! Set up a Committee of Planetary Safety! What the hell, if I may ask, does Krugman know about it? Is he calling [MIT climatology Prof. Richard] Lindzen, [Harvard physicist Will] Happer, and [Institute for Advanced Study Freeman] Dyson traitors against the planet? Yes, in effect, he is. And that is truly disgusting.
Unfortunately for Krugman he brought his jack-booted ideology to a science fight.
