I really enjoyed Freakonomics, but I haven't read SuperFreakonomics yet, so I can't say much on the chapter about global warming. The title however suggest something about global cooling. A recent article says: Statistics experts reject global cooling claims. But he doesn't seem to be denying global warming in this interview. So I definitely have to read the book.
Maybe he means global cooling in terms of doing it through geoengineering, then I'm a strong supporter for it as a midterm solution though.
Bjorn Lomborg, the Skeptical Environmentalist, is also a strong supporter of geoengineering:

*promote , tried posting this under a more ambiguous title to piss off some right wingers. but I cant dupe just to tell people to fuck off

Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights REPRESENT. BJORN>>>>>>>>>>>!

While a seethe with lie induced rage when I see Glen Beck, I do like Bjorn Lomborg. His argument is very convincing, and completely different than the "global warming does not exist".

I never like those 5 videos being my top ones. But anyways, here is a list of top videos from people that are no longer active (or as active as before) and are great videosifters

Awesome video and song, I've been coming back here to watch it/listen to it for a while now. Let's *promote it, because I like this almost as much as their 2007 hit 'Young Folks'.

Man, this is never going to get sifted. Nothing happens in the video!

Also, why would you take the side of Bjorn Lomborg? Lomborg does not dispute the science of global warming at all. He believes it's happening and it's caused by man. He also believes it's so far gone that measures to stop it would need to be much more drastic than a carbon tax and the Kyoto protocol. But Lomborg thinks we need different long term strategies and that stopping global warming isn't as important as other things.

So, why is Lomborg the hero in this video? Because Gore is a democrat? Anything anti-Gore is good?

A debate format wouldn't be that useful anyway, especially with some media figurehead like Gore. This may shock you, but Gore is not a scientist! He's not really leading the science of global warming.

A much better way to look at this would be to look at the scientific community's reaction to Lomborg's book "The Skeptical Environmentalist". As it turns out, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty cited The Skeptical Environmentalist for:

1. Fabrication of data;
2. Selective discarding of unwanted results (selective citation);
3. Deliberately misleading use of statistical methods;
4. Distorted interpretation of conclusions;
5. Plagiarism;
6. Deliberate misinterpretation of others' results.

Hehe, thanks man. That made my day.
You know, lots of people had problems remembering the guys' names, so the thing to keep in mind is this: The guy who looks like a Benny is named Bjorn, and the guy who looks like a Bjorn is Benny.
Works every time!
