Two excellent posts on the rebound effect by James Barrett on realclimateeconomics.org

James Barrett has recently published two very well reasoned posts on the rebound effect that walk through his thinking, and they are worth a read.  The first one is introductory (written in response to the recent New Yorker article), and the second one more technical.  Both will help people who take an intelligent interest in this topic think more clearly about the rebound effect and its implications.
