Pretty cookie-cutter in its analysis depth, but definitely on par with fraudulent climate “science” statements like “increasing severity of global-warming caused storm damage results in costs of wind speed cubed” or other nonsense.

We’re getting pretty close to the point where 1) the actual science is collapsing around this fake problem, and 2) any economic impact will be far less than the draconian measures proposed by these socialist thieves to “remedy” it.

In other words, even if AGW is real, I don’t care, and neither should you, nor should we do anything about it.

Looking at raw numbers, it is clear that increase in Chinese meat-eating spurred demand for grain (livestock feed) more than biofuels by a factor of at least 10. The World Bank piece looks like a political hit job.</p> There is a lot of frantic hand waving over this issue but not much of substance.
