Apparently Levitt and Dubner's sequel to Freakonomics contains a bunch of howlers re global warming. I don't fully trust any of the people who've been going on about this -- Ezra Klein is a hack; Krugman is being snide and dismissive -- but here are a couple of blogposts that seem to be by relatively disinterested parties, who agree that Levitt and Dubner don't know what they're talking about. One of them is from Stoat, which was formerly at mustelid.blogspot.com (hence the location of this post); the other is at Nature's climate change blog.
PS Joe Romm's remarks on solar panels (and the email he quotes) are also worth reading even if the rest of his post is a little intemperate.
