The skeptical environmentalist returns

The Skeptical Environmentalist, Bjørn Lomborg, has a new book out on "global warming" - take a look at the Amazon page for Cool It!, which features a positive review from Michael Crichton.

Lomborg was previously author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, a book worth reading in its own right, along with the books of Gregg Easterbrook - environmental journalist (one of the few sensible ones), technogeek, football aficionado, and all-around Renaissance man.

And here's more wisdom, from economics writer and unusually knowledgeable and sensible journalist Robert Samuelson. Plus see comments from Instapundit and Ann Althouse.
