Freaked Out Neoliberals

There is an interesting comment on Paul Krugman's blog in response to the about-to-be-published book "Superfreakanomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance". The point of the comment was that economists should "...stick to your third-quarter profit forecasts and leave climate predictions to real scientists!" I would slightly qualify this comment to read "neoliberal economists" since the ecological economist are doing research that is complimentary to the earth scientists.
