Linking nicely to my post on the monetary costs of biodiversity targets, an interesting article has just come out by the Guardian's Adam Vaughan and Camila Ruz - 'Sir David Attenborough: US politicians duck climate change because of cost'. This talks about Sir David Attenborough's accusation that US politicians have been dismissing the realities of climate change because of the economic cost of dealing with it. The article contains a shortened video of the interview that is worth watching.
He reiterates the view that climate change is not an unnecessary expense, but one that has to be afforded. Well done Sir David for making your opinion known! (I particularly like your words on improved women's rights possibly slowing population growth!).
