If you haven’t heard John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas’ official climatologist (and therefore adviser to Rick Perry on the subject of climate change), check out his views. They’re startling only in the sense that they follow directly from the mainstream science — a suspect position these days in the state that oil and myopia built.

Professor Dieter Helm (Oxford) is a very fine fly fisherman, and an even better economist. If you haven’t done so, take a look at his new book “The Carbon Crunch: How We Are Getting Climate Change Wrong — and How to Fix It” for a bit of unconventional wisdom. He argues that politicians and the general public have not shown any real interest in addressing climate change. Helm argues that places like Europe should focus on setting a price for carbon that would cover consumption (and not just production), and that fracking could be a good “bridge” technology for reducing consumption of coal. The book is readable and insightful for those interested in the inside track on climate policy.
