Heatwaves that kill thousands, tropical-style storms and widespread flooding could be regular features of Britain’s climate within a generation if global warming is not checked, according to the Met Office.

Damn it, you can’t ponce around waving a cost benefit analysis unless you actually cost out the benefits as well as the costs.
