Stern and his gang
Nov 5, 2013
Bishop Hill in Climate: Parliament, Economics

Lord Stern appeared before the House of Commons Energy and CLimate Change Committee this morning. It was amusing to see him arriving with his posse of assistants, Bob Ward among them. Why on earth does he need a PR man to go to the House of Commons with him? [Update - just seen one of his minions passing him the answer to a question]

Lilley from 10 mins with a few fireworks, Stern accusing him of being misleading, Lilley referring to Stern's "attack dog". Smashing stuff. The bit about discount rates is fun too, with Stern denying using different rates for costs and benefits and then flannelling furiously. I can't wait to see the transcript.

Graham Stringer was there, alongside Peter Lilley; questions from 10:43.
