This is an outstanding piece that very kindly does not critique the science behind all of this. Climate change science has always struck me as the ultimate example of the very policy/science hubris that was condemned by F.A. Hayek, a presumption of knowledge in the extreme, an opportunity for intellectuals to play as if they are planners of both the world economy and the global climate. It's preposterous. Something tells me that in 20 years time, we are all going to look back at the current hysteria and laugh at its absurdities, same as we laugh at 1970s end-of-the-world manias.
