Although flawed, in SuperFreakonomics, Levitt and Dubner have done citizens and policymakers a real service by breaking the taboo on discussing the feasibility and risks of climate engineering in public.

The horse that Steve Levitt predicted would finish last… actually *won* the Kentucky Derby.

A documentary film is going to be made about the book “Freakonomics”. The problem is that the film won’t be made by one able and focused director —but rather by a bunch of folks, whose implication in the whole project will be ultra minimal. The expected result of that idiocy is that their documentary will be an uninteresting mosaic of short and superficial takes, and will surely tank at the box office, like all the Paris Hilton movies did. The Hollywood Stock Exchange traders are no idiots: they are sensing that that Freakonomics project is a stinking lemon, and they are selling the event derivative like it is bubonic plague.
