So apparently writing a chapter of a book that includes alternate solutions to the "global warming" issue incurs the wrath of all manner of the "little green people".
In chapter 5 of his newest book, Steven Levitt interviews Nathan Myhrvold (formerly of Microsoft) and Lowell Wood (formerly of the Star Wars missle defense system) and they seem to have a few interesting ideas as to fixing the problems.
My favorite quote from the chapter... "It would cost $50 million less to stop global warming than what Al Gore's foundation is paying just to increase public awareness about global warming."
Read it. http://delong.typepad.com/files/superfreakonomics-chapter-5.pdf
