Off Target: The Stern Review’s Climate Disaster Predictions 17 Years Later

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

17 years is only ancient history in the mind of a child, not science.

Nonetheless, they used the concept of 'the future' to bamboozle people with sensationalist claims that never were going to come true in order to implement jackboot govt policies.
