World Responds to British Stern Warning on Climate Change
With the completion of a 580-page commissioned report, Britain has
issued a call for urgent action on climate change, to prevent catastrophe by
taking preventative measures now. A snapshot of resulting worldwide media
coverage.
BRITAIN -- Britain issued a call for urgent action on climate change on Monday
after a hard-hitting report painted an apocalyptic picture of the economic and
environmental fallout from further global warming.
The 580-page report, commissioned last year by the British government, said
failure to tackle climate change could push world temperatures up by 5 degrees
Celsius (9 Fahrenheit) over the next century, causing severe floods and harsh
droughts and uprooting as many as 200 million people.
Titled the "Stern Review" after the primary author, former World Bank
chief economist Nicholas Stern, on a positive note the report said that if
action was taken now the benefits of determined worldwide steps to tackle global
warming would massively outweigh the economic and human costs.
The report spurred a flurry of news stories in response. The following
is a snapshot from a Google News search on <Climate Change Britain> on
Oct. 30, 11:00 pm Mountain time.
