Piketty's work is, frankly, much more important than one paper about climate change that has been alluded to a couple times. I had to look up that paper to know which one you were referring to, and I follow climate change very closely. Piketty has lead to a firestorm of criticisms and rebuttals and counter-rebuttals: virtually every major political and economic blog has addressed it. Yesterday I saw a pile of copies of it in a mainstream bookstore. They're in totally different leagues. Reinhart–Rogoff falls somewhere in between those extremes, and IIRC FT and the Economist have both mentioned its flaws.
