Whoever commissioned Stern to produce a report on the effects of climate change was a genius. People have known about most of the effects of climate change for years, but still public opinion is against green-taxes or a curb on aviation. 500 million are going to become permanent refugees and Bangladesh will be one large lake and no-one bats an eyelid, but Stern produces a report saying it's going to cost us £3.68 trillion and everyone is suddenly thinking twice about that holiday in Trinidad...
A PR masterpiece from Tony and Gordon I suspect!
The Stern Report is 700 pages long, but there is a great PDF presentation which accompanies the report.
