Krugman: failure to believe in global warmism is a sin

Paul Krugman

In an otherwise uninteresting rant on the evils of the private automobile and the freedom that it provides, the New York Times' Paul Krugman writes:

And the thing is that these are externalities that everyone can see. You can deny global warming (and may you be punished in the afterlife for doing so — this kind of denial for petty personal or political reasons is an almost inconceivable sin). But can anyone deny that more drivers means more traffic congestion?

Liberals apparently do not object to mentioning concepts like the "afterlife" or "sin" unless it is a conservative who does the mentioning.

Incidentally, if the failure to believe in global warming alarmism really were an "inconceivable sin," then 30,000 American scientists would be going to hell.

Hat tip: WattsUpWithThat.
