Environmental Thinking: Here's a good survey of the current state of environmental thinking, from computer models to Kyoto. The author is obviously a global-warming skeptic, but is not unfair in his arguments. The more I read about this, the less I like Kyoto, which could become a reality in the next Democratic administration. The cost-benefit analysis, persuasively laid out by Lomborg most recently, simply doesn't support significant policy changes. (Via A&LD.)
