The cart before the horse

Yesterday, I noted that the CBO Director is clarifying the CBO's report on economic policies for climate change in response to some bloggers that were dogging them. It turns out that Nat Keohane at EDF is said blogger (he got phone calls from Terry Dinan and Peter Orszag ... wow). I should have known this before I pointed to the CBO post since a heads up was sitting in my inbox:

I thought you -- and your readers? -- might enjoy one of EDF's economists pointing out faults in the way economists look at global warming scenarios. It's one of the clearest explanation of economists' underlying assumptions about this issue that I've seen.

Here is the link to the follow-up post at EDF:
