190. "Superfreakonomics" by Levitt & Dubner

I've had my nose in the book "Superfreakomonics." Enjoyed the Introduction, as well as, the chapters The Fix is In -- and it's Cheap and Simple and What do Al Gore and Mount Pinatubo Have in Common. For you "Green" people, do read the latter chapter about very reputable scientists, some who originally backed Global Warming fanatically, who present a simple, cheap way to control global warming opposed to the extremely high cost of actions taken today. How cheap? How about less than Al Gore's advertising budget for his version of Global Warming. How about a total cost of $250MILLION vs. $1.2 TRILLION! And, by the way, we are headed to Global Cooling again. Learn why models used today can't come close to approximating future climatic events and why different scientists tweak their models to make them align with results of other scientist's results in order to get their fair share of our tax payer money. Enjoy the read.
