Nicholas Stern – the most dangerous man you've never heard of

Telegraph
"Pretty much every piece of dire "environmental" policy enacted or proposed since – the carbon taxes, the devastation of our landscape with wind farms, the rise in energy bills, the growing regulatory burden, the abject misery which comes from being controlled by hair-shirt eco loons – is the result of Stern's bravura combination of junk economics with junk science. Sure, others such as Al Gore had sowed the seeds; but it was Stern's apparently rigorous, cost-benefit-analysing report which gave politicians the justification they felt they needed to go ahead and bomb our economies back to the dark ages in order to save the planet for "future generations." (Future generations, it should be noted, who are going to be a hell of a lot richer than we are, and consequently far better capable of dealing with any climate disasters that might arise)"
