Has Mark Walport any actual evidence to support his position that Matt Ridley is wrong? The words read like our chief scientist substituting name-calling for a lack of evidence.
Andrew Montford writes: Another entertaining episode in the hearings [of the Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee yesterday] morning was when Mark Walport was asked about Matt Ridley’s suggestion that global warming would bring net benefits over 40-50 years. This conclusion is based on Richard Tol’s metaanalysis of mainstream economic studies into such questions (see key figure below).
