dioxide peaked in the range of 450-550 parts per million would
cost 1 percent of the GDP annually, but ignoring climate change
could cause economic damage on the order of up to 20 percent of
the GDP. Translated into real world numbers, the Stern Review
put a price of about $85 per ton of carbon pollution emitted
today, well above the current rate used by the U.S. of $40 per
ton....It’s a stark finding — though one that has yet to inspire
major action — that was both heralded as a breakthrough and
hotly debated in the intervening decade....Commissioned by the
British government and led by economist Nicholas Stern, the
massive report was the first of its kind to quantify the costs
to address<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b
style="font-weight: normal;">climate change</b><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and its impact on the
global economy vs. what would happen if the world continued<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:
normal;">emitting carbon pollution unchecked....Climate change
is ultimately a problem of dollars and cents across
generations. That’s because the actions society takes today to
address climate change — namely cutting carbon pollution —
won’t provide immediate benefits. Instead, those benefits will
be reaped in the coming years and decades and even centuries
in the form of fewer people dying from heat waves, cities not
being submerged by rising seas, farmers dealing with reduced
risk of megadroughts...Weighing all these costs and benefits
in terms that governments can create policies around and
businesses can prepare for is no small task.... Yet 10 years
ago, that’s the Stern Review, a 700-page behemoth of a report,
did. Interviews: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<blockquote><b style="font-weight: normal;">A weird phenomenon is
happening high above the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas
that could prove to be an atmospheric nightmare. Pollutants
that gather from India and China in the lowlands around the
mountains can be boosted as high as 18 kilometers, reaching
the stratosphere—the atmospheric layer directly above the
troposphere that contains most of Earth’s ozone....That is far
higher than aerosols from vehicles, power plants and fires
usually reach. Once aerosols are that high they can spread
globally, destroy the ozone layer that protects us from
ultraviolet radiation and exacerbate global warming,
researchers warn....Special tests reported in September
confirm the aerosols continue to collect over India, and the
work reveals fresh insights into their composition....The
presence of aerosols was a big surprise when Vernier and his
colleagues discovered them in 2009. Sieving through the data
from CALIPSO—a satellite jointly launched by France and the
U.S.—they found a thick layer of aerosols between 13 and 18
kilometers above sea level over a large area stretching across
the eastern Mediterranean Sea, northern India and western
China. The layer is most prominent in the summer and is
unrelated to volcanic eruption, Vernier surmised then.</b><br>
