Department of "WTF?!": Yes, Clifford Asness's Views on Global Warming Are Insane: Why Do You Ask?
UPDATE: Cliff Asness states that I misinterpreted his column: that he did not intend for his:
I'm amazed that a Paul Krugman can look at 15+ years of the earth not warming and feel his beliefs [on global warming] need no modification...
to be a right-wingnut dog-whistle claim that global warming from human activity had stopped and was unlikely to resume.
On Twitter:
@delong: .@Cimmerian999 Suggest you replace “the earth not warming” with “surface atmosphere temperatures not exceeding extraordinary spike of 1998”
.@Cimmerian999: .@delong Yes, in a paragraph meant to be funny (lost on you and Jesse obviously) that would work much better.
END UPDATE
...can look at 15+ years of the earth not warming and feel his beliefs need no modification or explanation...
What next, Cliff? ShadowStats? Queen Elizabeth a secret lizard-person? Moon landing faked?
