QotD: "Climate change and the true cost of economic growth...”
"There is no 'true cost of economic growth.' The cost of economic growth, including compliance with regulations, is built into the calculation of economic growth.

A real-world discount rate zeroes out all potential 'benefits' of carbon regulations." ~ David Middleton, in his post ‘Climate Change and the True Cost of Economic Growth’ – A Grauniad Fairy Tale'
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
