In an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Lord Nicholas Stern, the author of The Stern Review on climate change published in 2006, which became the reference work for politicians and green campaigners, now says he underestimated the risks of climate change. He states that “the planet and the atmosphere seem to be absorbing less carbon than we expected, … and some of the effects are coming through more quickly than we thought then." Lord Stern now believes he should have been more ‘blunt’ about threat to economies from temperature rises.
