The noted economist, William Nordhaus, has published an interesting essay in the New York Review of Books on the question of climate change. It is a very detailed rebuttal of a group of 16 scinetists who published an article in the Wall Street Journal arguing that climate change is not something we need to worry about. Nordhaus is very good at responding directly to the arguments made and his analysis is very sytematic and specific.
Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic interviews President Obama on the Iranian nuclear situation. The President is far more explicit in this interview on the matter than he has been in the past. His views are considerably more hawkish than one might have assumed from his previous statements. In the same issue, however, there are two articles that take a dim view of an attack on Iran: one by James Fallows and the other by Robin Wright.
