I'm going to need you to substantiate your claim that Reason is a far-right publication, because it really seems like a centrist libertarian publication. They predictably project a pro-individual and pro-business (in that order) message, I've seen them argue for NAFTA (not popular with the right these days, which is more protectionist), they consistently argue against restrictions on social taboos (social controls being the primary distinguishing factor of the right).
- jhbadger 9y agoI already did. Sowing the seeds of doubt that climate change isn't a problem and/or not caused by fossil fuel use, as in the article I mentioned is pretty clearly far-right, not centrist at all.
- microcolonel 9y agoFirstly: debating the specifics of the impact of climate change, and the efficacy of proposed solutions is not a "far-right" position. The presentations given to the public on climate change are obviously intended to be more motivating (by being alarming) than accurate. The predictions are rarely born out by the observations, the crises are constantly averted through no human action. The main point of this article is that there is no clear correlation between global mean temperature and the severity of hurricanes. If that's a far-right position, then where do the centrist positions start? Licking Al Gore's boot? http://reason.com/archives/2017/09/13/thr-climate-alarmists-are-wrong http://reason.com/archives/2017/09/13/thr-climate-alarmists-...
