Climate change sceptics likened to those who denied HIV Aids link by Lord Stern - Telegraph
Lord Stern warned that Florida and Bangladesh could disappear, alligators could survive at the North Pole and millions of people would have to migrate.
"The location of many species, including humans, would be radically different and many would not survive," he added.
Lord Stern, who is to launch his book - A Blueprint for a Safer Planet - at a public lecture at LSE on Tuesday, said in the face of such evidence those who continue to deny climate change are "ignorant and reckless."
"The greenhouse effect is simple and sound science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting more greenhouse gases. There will be oscillations, there will be uncertainties. But the logic of the greenhouse effect is rock solid and the long-term trends associated with the effects of human emissions are clear in the data," he writes.
"The arguments from those who deny the science look more and more like those who denied the association between HIV and Aids or smoking and cancer."
