Green wave breaking -- Stern & Brown
The great green wave is breaking on the unquenchable fires of civilization. Brit economic guru Stern says climate change will do more damage than both world wars, with the depression thrown in for fun. Brit budget chief Brown responds with proposed 10 pound tax on airfares. Measure for measure, this measures the force of climate hype in Britain. Elsewhere, nothing happens.

Part of the irony: Stern was recently fired because Brown wasn't going to do the stuff Stern felt necessary to save the planet.
The Stern paper also got a pretty solid pounding from several academic economists, charging that he used an unreasonable discount rate in order to jump up the numbers.
With a discount rate of 0.1% per annum Stern was precisely preposterous. A rare gift that.
