Davos and Global Climate Change

At the Annual Meetings of the World Economic Forum at Davos, "when hundreds of participants voted on what the world's most pressing issues were, a large majority said 'climate change'". Most also felt, however, that the world is not yet ready to handle climate change.

The article from the BBC, "
Has Big Business gone green at last?", notes that for many, the turning point in their thinking was when they viewed Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth". Still others pointed to the Stern Report (Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change).

For what it's worth - and I certainly don't know what that is(!) - the author, who apparently has reported from Davos in the past, feels that though he's heard this type of talk from leaders in the past, "this year it feels different."
