Global Warming Theory and the Tests It Fails
Many people commenting both for and against reducing emissions from burning fossils tend to assume it has been proven that rising GHGs including CO2 cause higher atmospheric temperatures. That premise has been tested and found wanting, as this post will describe. First below is a summary of Global Warming Theory as presented in the […]

From Homeland to Diaspora: Assyrian, Greek, Armenian Survivors of Genocide
Assyrian International News Agency - 11 hours ago
In 1998 the Hellenic Parliament recognised 14 September as a day of national mourning for the Genocide of the Greeks of Asia Minor. The past two decades the Armenian genocide has been extended by scholars to include the lesser-known genocide cases of the Greeks of Asia Minor (including Pontos) and Eastern Thrace as well as Assyrians in the period o

14 Million People Watched The Debate Thursday-- Enough To Lower Biden's Irrational Standing In The Polls?
Right after the Thursday night ABC News debate ended, CNN.com published a column by their in-house pundit Chris Cillizza asserting that Biden was a winner and Elizabeth Warren a loser. Many decades ago I was managing local San Francisco bands. One of them was The Readymades and I had booked them an opening slot for a big touring band-- maybe Roxy Music?-- at a bigger venue than they usually played. I was disappointed when the top critics in town for the big newspaper didn't show up. However, towards the end of the headliner's show he made his entrance and came right over to me and ... more »
Nigel Farage (geoff) boycotts the BBC. The BBC begs him to reappear
At least Andrew Marr didn't ask him about Paddington Bear Thus spake Nigel... (h/t MB): I appeared with Andrew Marr in the European Elections, when we were heading the polls in the European Elections, and I was treated like a war criminal. It was just extraordinary. You’d have thought I was at Nuremberg for something awful I’d done. They’re now begging me every week on email to reappear. So far I keep telling them I’m washing my hair. I don’t think we need the BBC as much as we used to. I think their behaviour has been disgusting at every level. They are utterly biased. But... more »

What Would It Mean for Russia If World War II and Nazi Germany Never Happened?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A more divided Europe. *Key point: *Europe would have had much stronger competitors to the Soviet Union. After suffering more than twenty million military and civilian deaths in World War II, Russia has little cause to thank Hitler. But with Wednesday, June 22 marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, it is time to recall one of history’s greatest ironies. Adolf Hitler was obsessed with turning Russia into a vast German colony and the Russian people into slaves. Instead, half of Germany was ... more »
Can China's Chengdu J-20 Stealth Fighter Win Against America's F-35 or F-22?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * What about the F-22? *Key point: *The J-20 poses a threat to the F-35, but is badly outclassed by the F-22. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after several substantial revisions, J-20s entered operational service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force. As radar-guided missiles from fighters and ground-based launchers threaten aircraft from dozens, or even *hundreds* of miles away, stealth c... more »
France's Leclerc Tank: One of the Best on the Planet?
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * French-built, Emirati-modified. *Key point: *The UAE has particular security needs and its upgrades to the Leclerc have been highly successful. There is a saying in the Pentagon that the United Arab Emirates is "Little Sparta," a phrase repeated by outgoing defense secretary James Mattis. The reason is that Emirati troops are experienced and battle-tested from the war in Yemen, and the oil-rich country has spent its riches on some of the most advanced military hardware in the world. At the forefront is the UAE's armored corps of French-made Lecler... more »

How the U.S. Navy Always Learns From Its (Deadly) Mistakes
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, * It just takes some time. *Key point: *A high operational tempo is putting stress on the U.S. Navy. A series of collisions involving U.S. Navy destroyers in 2016 and 2017—including two incidents this summer that left sixteen sailors dead—have raised questions as to why the maritime fighting branch appears to be suffering the same accident again and again. However, it can take time for organizations to learn from mistakes and implement solutions to deal with them. This fact was illustrated when it took no less than three catastrophic fires on U.S. ai... more »
If China Invades Taiwan, Is the B-52 Bomber Its Last Hope?
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* Sea mines to the rescue. *Key point:* The bombers themselves are no longer safe from the Chinese military, but what if...? China steadily is building up the forces it could deploy in an attempted invasion of Taiwan. The Chinese navy is acquiring aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships while the Chinese army and marine corps add modern fighting vehicles and the air force trains for intensive air-to-air combat. But in crossing the Taiwan Strait, a Chinese invasion fleet would face not only Taiwanese forces, but probably Americans forces, as well... more »
China's New H-20 Stealth Bomber: America's Worst Nightmare?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* Should the Pentagon be concerned? *Key point: *We won't know how well it performs until it is fielded in the mid-2020s. In October 2018, Chinese media announced that the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) would publicly unveil its new H-20 stealth bomber during a parade celebrating the air arm’s seventieth anniversary in 2019. Prior news of the H-20’s development had been teased using techniques pioneered by viral marketing campaigns for Hollywood movies.

EU with North Macedonia (and others?) would be a better one
On Friday 13th, Czech prosecutors stopped all the prosecution of PM Babiš and his accomplices in the Stork Nest subsidy fraud scandal. Well, I find it almost obvious that it's a consequence of Babiš's recent replacement of the minister of justice and a few other changes – and that Babiš is guilty – but in principle, only $2 million is really involved in this stuff and sadly, there are much worse things we must be worried about. On the same day, Prague saw a meeting of the Visegrád Group prime ministers and they recommended something that could be embraced by the rest of the European ... more »

On Hume’s Objective History, Politics, and Economics
Skepticism in metaphysics and epistemology does not necessarily entail skepticism in areas of history, politics, economics, and moral theory. The writing career of David Hume is a proof of this fact. In his first major work *A Treatise Concerning Human Nature*, Hume made several skeptical pronouncements and earned the reputation of a skeptic philosopher. But there is not a trace of skeptical thoughts in his *The History of England* in which he narrates the history "from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688.” The book was a bestseller in Hume’s time and many schola... more »
Should grad students teach?
A student emails me a question: Dear Prof. Mankiw, I am in the first week of my PhD in economics. I follow your blog and I have read the advice you have posted for graduate students. I have heard competing hypotheses about whether PhD students should teach during their studies. On one hand, teaching is a great experience and a CV-builder for hopeful future academics. On the other hand, teaching is a lot of work, and the opportunity cost of time for any PhD student is high. Do you have any advice about how a PhD student (and a big fan of your blog!) can reconcile these points? ... more »

Taiwan Needs New Submarines To Stop a Possible Future Invasion by China
*David Axe* *Security, * But can Taipei really build them or buy them abroad? Taiwan has broken ground on the shipyard that could build the country’s first new submarines in nearly 40 years. But the island state’s defense minister signaled uncertainty about whether, and how fast, the navy might actually get new undersea boats. “We are far behind” in submarine warfare, Defense Minister Michael Tsai said at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. in September 2019. “We need technical support from the United States, Japan and other countries.” Facing a *de facto* embargo from the... more »
China Has New Aircraft Carriers, But Are They Too Small?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Sometimes size does matter. *Key point: *China and America have different national security needs. Is China’s newest aircraft carrier half-full or half-empty? That depends on how you look at the vessel’s aircraft capacity. The ship, prosaically named the Type 001A for now, is China’s second carrier and the first built in China. The first carrier, the* Liaoning*, is a refurbished ex-Soviet vessel. The *Liaoning *could carry twenty-four J-15 fighters. The Type 001A can carry thirty-six J-15s plus various support aircraft and helicopters, according to C... more »
Alfa: Russia's 'Race Car' Submarines Were Faster and Could Out-dive Anything
*David Axe* *Security, * But were easy to kill for one simple reason: they were noisy. In 1969, the Soviet navy shocked the U.S. and NATO militaries with a new and incredibly capable submarine—one that could swim faster and dive deeper than could anything else under the sea. But the seven high-tech *Alfa*-class submarines—each able to reach 45 knots of speed and 2,400 feet of depth—actually were inferior where it really mattered. Their speed and depth-resistance came at the cost of noisy internal machinery that made them easy to detect … and destroy. “The *Alfa *was a huge step... more »
Is the Philippines Becoming Russia’s Newest Ally?
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia Pacific* What happens to the U.S. alliance? Why is the Philippines suddenly interested in buying Russian aircraft? Not warplanes, but civilian planes for commercial purposes. Yet it suggests that Manila is eyeing a closer relationship with Moscow. “There is an intention for finding Philippine partners that would probably bring in Russian jets into the country that could be used for tourism or disaster relief,” said Corazon Halili-Dichosa, executive director of the Philippine Board of Investments Industry Development Services, according to Russia’s ... more »
The 1 Thing That Could Crush a Sixth-Generation Stealth Fighter
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, World* And it has nothing to do with an F-35, F-22, Russia or China. In the last few years, several countries have seemingly committed themselves to developing a new sixth-generation of manned jet fighters to succeed today’s fifth-generation stealth fighters, like the F-35 Lightning and the Chinese J-20. Russia and Japan are interested in interceptors, such as Japan’s Mitsubishi F-3 and Russia’s MiG-41. In Europe, the interest is in a multi-role fighter—notably France and Germany’s Next-Generation Fighter, part of a broader Future Combat Air System ... more »
America Can't Fight Its Way Out of Its North Korea Mess
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, Asia* Guns won't work here. *Key point: *War would only kill millions and make America's problems worse. Last Friday National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster emphatically told reporters that despite what many have said to the contrary, “there is a military option” for North Korea. Tuesday afternoon at the United Nations, President Trump went even further, saying that if he felt certain conditions warranted it, then he would have no choice “but to totally destroy North Korea.” The president and his national security advisor, however, are wrong.

What They Won't Talk About
There are lots of issues on the agenda this time around. But, Bob Hepburn writes, there's one issue none of the leaders will touch: Missing will be plans on how to address what is arguably the most critical issue of all — our increasingly fractured nation. It’s the big election issue that no one is talking about. Indeed, this election is actually about fractures between urban and rural, highly educated and moderately educated, elites and ordinary folks. It’s an election about solitudes — West versus East, the rich versus the middle class versus the poor. While the leaders may tal... more »

Judicial Capacities: Some Second-Order Problems
For the symposium on Andrew Coan, Rationing the Constitution: How Judicial Capacity Shapes Supreme Court Decision-Making (Harvard University Press 2019).
