Not sure where Tim is, but he makes a great point on his own blog about how the UK Conservative Party is adopting a target for greenhouse gas reductions that even Sir Nicholas Stern regards as “likely to be extremely costly” to the economy. Given that they’re not going to get into power for another three years at least, the measures they’d need to take to meet the target would be even more drastic than Sir Nicholas envisages. This is, frankly, crazy.
