		<title>Superfreakonomics &#8211; chapter 5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given the popularity of Freakonmics, and the resultant sense of authority the authors have achieved, I wanted to point out for any potential readers that the chapter in their new book, Superfreakonomics, on climate change (chapter 5) is completely whack.
If you happen to pick up a copy, do yourself a favour and read Brad DeLong&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Emissions trading objections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my (admittedly limited) reading about the proposed emissions trading scheme here in Australia, I get the impression there&#8217;s two primary objections (mostly from business, but also the opposition party &#8211; coincidence?) to the trading scheme.

		<title>Happy snaps from Hong Kong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve just finished uploading and captioning on Flickr the few photos I took while in Hong Kong.
For some reason I felt really self-conscious about taking photos on the trip, so most of them are taken on the one &#8220;tourist&#8221; day I did, when I went to Lantau Island to see the cable car, Big Buddha, [...]]]></description>
