  • More bad news for the Superfreakonomics authors from a pretty devastating Bloomberg article. Also, the funniest quote of the whole affair, courtesy of maureendowdsemailfriend@gmail.com as quoted by Brad DeLong: “While eco-cultists like Al Gore keep referring to a 6 degree C rise in global temperature as some sort of doomsday scenario, the agnostics grumble that the temperature of the earth is already 287 Kelvin, so we’re talking about a mere 2% increase… I can haz best-seller?”
  • New “opt-out” fee garners $1.4 million so far. Behavioral economics and Nudge put to work for state parks.
