This was good, but worse than the first. I didn't like a lot of the sections (some of them were entirely not illuminating). The section on Global Cooling, surprisingly, was the best part. I'm not sure if it was true, but it's comforting to know that there are a significant number of ways that are being considered away from the public eye for solving our greenhouse gas issues.

Overall, worth reading, but don't expect anything better than the original Freakonomics ( )

right wing propaganda on methane pollution and global warming. I might not be too disgusted to persist through the last chapter in case they say: kidding! ( )

When a library patron told me he liked this volume even better than the first one, I was intrigued. I read it on the bus, and indeed, it was fascinating way to pass time. But since I'm no longer taking the bus, and therefore no longer need to pass time, I don't feel like I need to spend the time to finish this book. I'm having trouble seeing the relevancy to the big picture. It's kind of like the short stories of non-fiction, except that I like short stories. ( )

Just didn't dig this one like I did the first. ( )

The phrase thinking outside the box gets used a lot these days. But these two guys really take this phrase to the extreme. They see things in such a different, fascinating, and often humorous way that it's an absolute pleasure to read their stuff. In fact, the most disappointing thing about this book is thats it's way too short. Only 216 pages. C'mon guys your fans waited years for this follow up, and this is all you could come up with ? ( )
