What's your current opinion on global warming / climate change and the potential for geoengineering to save the day? Is it still the same as in the Superfreakonomics chapter on this topic, or have any events and developments in the meantime impacted your opinion?

It's not just you. Social/situational pressure can have a huge impact on people's behavior. For evidence, see: Asch's conformity studies, Zimbardo's prison study, etc. Some 75% of people will do something they inwardly disagree with and know is wrong if everyone around them is putting pressure on them, even if it's subtle/indirect pressure.
