US scientists warn of dire effects of global warming
The Observer, 13/01/2013, p.24, Robin Mckie
Bob Ward, of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, at the London School of Economics, said: "For those outside the US, this report carries a brutal message because it shows that even the world's leading economy cannot simply adapt to the impacts of climate change. The problem clearly needs concerted international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to avoid the worst potential consequences."

Is this the loneliest generation?
The Independent On Sunday, 13/01/2013, p.28, Brian Brady
It is the latest in a number of attempts to gauge, and change, the national mood: Tony Blair appointed the LSE academic Lord Layard as his "happiness tsar", while David Cameron has previously tried to measure people's well-being. In each case, the driving aim was to cut health and social welfare costs by making people feel better about their lot.

Has Rupert Murdoch turned into a climate change sceptic?
The Independent, 12/01/2013, p.17, Ian Burrell
Bob Ward, the policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, at the London School of Economics, said: “Under James, News International [the UK arm of News Corp] had a very clear commitment to be a carbon neutral company. It’s rather odd that [Rupert] should be expressing these views when the company is still largely making such a big thing out of it.”

Letter: Beyond right and wrong
Financial Times, 12/01/2013, p.10, Unattributed
Sir, While agreeing with Robin Lustig’s observation (Letters, January 5) of the definition of an economist, I was reminded of being told when I was a student at the London School of Economics that examination questions were not changed each year but the correct answers were.

Man who turned amorality into an art form
