The freakonomics guys pretty much sealed the argument for me (I already was skeptical). But I value the economics approach to truth finding above all other approaches. Economics is by far my favorite intellectual pursuit, and it is really the only intellectual pursuit that I enjoy. Plus once you get good at economist thinking, you can predict the future.

From that link, it seems that Levitt and Dunber aren't skeptics of global warming, they just believe "geoengineering" solutions would address the problem more efficiently than trying to reduce carbon emissions.

According to someone who's really close in the industry, some sponsors insist that fighters get their opponent in the clinch and pin them on the cage in order for their logo to get the most airtime. Other sponsors insist that a fighter maintains an active mount in order for the camera to capture their 'rear-end' and thus, their company logo. If a fighter adheres to these request, an additional sponsorship bonus is awarded.

I don't believe anything that comes from Middleeasy.com

Did you just arbitrarily decide they're not to be trusted or do you have solid reasons for not doing so?

Why you challenge everything I say these days homie?

Anyways, they are the ones who started the whole 'canned oxygen' nonsense without doing any research at all to see if it was legal in Texas (it was). And also, just go read their rumor mill on any given day, it's full of complete nonsense. I'm not saying they don't have some fun articles, but I take it all with a grain of salt.
