A Little Off the Top 02/26/2008

There's a good article in the New Yorker about the complexities of solving global warming. Turns out it's not just a matter of switching to CFL bulbs or joining the food co-op...

The New Yorker and the New York Times both have pieces on a new book by Dan Ariely, called Predictably Irrational. I've only read the articles and not the actual book, but it sounds like he's done some really interesting work on behavioral economics and our inability to choose what's best for us. Check it out if you're interested.
