Inside the Teapot

Without commenting on any of the salient policy questions, I’ll just say that "The Tempest," Joel Achenbach’s Washington Post magazine story on the foes of global warming alarmism— which includes a lengthy section on my employer, CEI—is not just a good, fun read (though it is). It also gets the madcap, digressive, contrarian intellectualism of my office just about right. I enjoy my workplace for many reasons, among them that it’s just a fun place to work. Really, name another think tank in which a senior fellow will dress up in a prison jumpsuit and do an impersonation of Hannibal Lecter as a bloodthirsty bureaucrat.
