Terrorism can't and won't destroy our civilization, but global warming could and might. Paul Krugman, Nobel prizewinning economist, public intellectual; New York Times columnist The thing I love about Paul Krugman is that he's such a mighty touchstone of wrong. If he told you that day followed night you'd have to go out in the morning to check with a torch; if he told you that The Sopranos was the greatest TV series ever you'd suddenly realize having revisited all 86 episodes that, no, actually even Hannah Montana had sharper acting and deeper insights; so when he tells you that "terrorism can't and won't destroy our civilization", well you know, without even having to think about it, that for once in his political career Jeb Bush has called it dead right, and that yet again, as ever, Krugman couldn't be further from the right end of the stick.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_krugman.jpg
