The New Yorker attacks Levitt and Dubner’s geo-engineering: Though climate change is a grave problem, Levitt and Dubner treat it mainly as an opportunity to show how clever they are.

Interesting article from The New Yorker . Its essentially a review of Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book, Eating Animals , which is a novel of the postmodern variety.
