Author of seminal climate report locked out of UK governing circles

Remember the Stern Report on climate change? How it was going to change everything?

Yeah, well, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown -- widely expected to become the next British Prime Minister -- has completely ignored the report's recommendations. He's taking the minimal possible action to address climate change. Stern has been frozen out and will leave the gov't in March.

Bloody awesome!
