Had you seen Marty Weitzman's take-down of Stern? Quoting Weitzman below, he is essentially saying that Stern's empirical analysis was specifically designed to get a particular outcome. That's pretty harsh.
"As we have seen, to be honest about the economic-analysis side the Stern Review predetermines the outcome in favor of strong immediate action to curtail greenhouse gas emissions
by creating a very low value of r=1.4% via the indirect route of picking parameter values ... that are more of a theoretically-reasoned extreme lower bound than an
empirically-plausible estimate of representative tastes. In this sense the reverse-engineered
output of PAGE and the formal economic analysis of the Review are worth very little."
