Environment

“Failing to curb the impact of climate change could damage the global economy on the scale of the Great Depression or the world wars by spawning environmental devastation that could cost 5 to 20 percent of the world’s annual gross domestic product.”
~ Nicholas Stern, economist, born 1946-04-22

“No chemist would dare propose a theory that conflicted with the laws of physics. No biologist would dream of proposing a theory that conflicted with what is known about biochemistry. Science is a unified whole that has to hang together. Yet economists live in their own dream world, totally ignoring what science tells them about sustainability, populations, pollution, soil erosion, ecology, global warming, radioactivity, etc. Therefore economics is no more a science than phrenology, astrology, creation ‘science’ or ‘Christian’ science. It is foolish to use economics as a guide, let alone the only guide, to plot the planet’s future.”
