I’ve written a lot about climate change. I’ve also worked and written for the authors of Freakonomics. So I’ve gotten a few requests for comment on the huge controversy surrounding the climate change chapter in their sequel, Superfreakonomics, which goes on sale today.
I’m not a climate expert by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t have a PhD in geosciences or atmospheric chemistry, I can’t do regression analysis to save my life, and I couldn’t build a climate model if you held a rocket launcher to my head. But I know enough to listen to the people who know a crapload more about this stuff than I do. If you’d like to do the same, go here. Or here. Or here.
