Background
Mark Lynas and Oliver Tickell are two journalists who helped draft a climate change scenario study of the Stockholm Network.[1] Other authors include big oil management people (BP and Shell) apart from a few academics. The study claims a distance from climate sceptical research promoted by "U.S. think tanks" according to media reports on the scenario study, although the Stockholm Network itself has previously promoted climate scepticism itself.[2] The scenario study argues in favor of a radical departure from the political course taken so far (Kyoto) allegedly because the instruments are less effective than an alternative promoted in a "step change" scenario advocating taxation at the origin of the carbon chain. No information on distributional consequences are given, unfortunately. It is unclear who would carry the burden if this allegedly economic growth supporting alternative would be pursued, and the whole strategy may be primarily meant to help undermining the Kyoto diplomacy. Mark Lynas in any case has also written in favor of nuclear energy.[3]
