As we know people who oppose Brexit have an excellent record in predicting the future and are, to gender fluid person, economic experts to boot. They are also (to a whatever) embracers of the new religion Man-made Climate Change.
I invite any one of them to redeploy all of his/her/its Project Fear skills to predict the likely economic effects of replacing fossil fuels with renewables? For example: What will life be like in 2050? Will I be holidaying in Spain, or Skegness? What will my fuel bill look like? How do all the foreign foods which fill the supermarket shelves get to Britain? How do any foods get from farm to supermarket?
And I invite this answer in two separate cases.:
Case 1: the whole world (i.e. signatories to the original Kyoto Agreement and the more recent Paris one) successfully adopt and succeed in implementing this policy.
Case 2: only we do it (as in May's last desperate attempt to save face with the chattering classes).
Oh, another question to all the climate change Knuts: in the most favourable scenario how far will the tide of climate catastophe have been rolled back?

(The "guffy" part of the post Jim objects to was the observation that Brexit was evaluated totally in terms of the economic consequence to real people, while economic consequences to real people are never mentioned by those same people when they insist that we stop using aeroplanes or cars unless either one is powered by elastic bands or a battery. Fess up, VE: you're unaware of the green science which enables flight.)
I like "guffometer", Ozzie.
Decades ago there was a Canadian psephologist (beautiful Babs, can't remember his name) who appeared on the BBC on election nights with a device called a "swingometer". It was not a thing of beauty. Nor of anything obviously approaching technical competence. It looked like a massive cardboard clock face with a massive cardboard arrow which could move up and down with occasional circular motions. Possibly borrowed from the Dr Who props used at that time.
