severe weather collage montageIt seems like ancient history today, but the 2006 report on climate change by Nicholas Stern, produced at the request of the British Government had a significant impact on discussions of climate policy.
The “Stern Review”, as it was called, focused on the economics of climate change and climate policy. [emphasis, links added]
Among the report’s conclusions was a prediction of how climate and weather-related disasters would increase in the coming years and decades.
Now, 17 years later, we can take a look at how well that prediction has fared.
In short, not so well.
