Happy planet index, such a joke



Backstory

If the good people of Luxembourg (ranked 138th) have not already bought a one-way ticket to more desirable destinations such as Malawi (72nd), Haiti (78th) or Afghanistan (109th), they can console themselves that they are still one place ahead of Sierra Leone (139th), although that could all change if the Sierra Leoneans buy a wind turbine.

That's commentary from Chris Snowdon regarding this new 'index' which is, in a word, ludicrous.
