Superfreakonomics and credibility

[andygates]

The blogosphere is alight with critiques of Superfreakonomics, whose climate-change chapter appears to have been written in crayon by a drunken marmoset watching Fox News.

Question is: Knowing how incompetent that chapter is, how can I trust any of the rest of the Freako oeuvre?

They suggest that SO2 geoengineering is a good idea. What surprises me is that, science aside, they're keen on a permanent and increasing commitment to spend with no return and high consequences of non-payment. It's not even economically good sense.

And that's before you look at the weak, weak science (viz: SO2 would work, be practical, and wouldn't turn the seas to crap).
