Lord Nicholas Stern discusses how we can change minds and political will surrounding climate change when science and facts fail to do so. Lord Stern believes that we need to make it clear that the risks are enormous, and to exhibit change that is attractive. “We can’t give out, we can’t just say, ‘Oh, this political will stuff is all too difficult. It’s not going to happen.’ Well, if that’s what you really believe, then get a hat and write a letter of apology to your grand children.”

Lord Nicholas Stern discusses the risks that are posed when one invests in hydrocarbons, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. “So if the world does accelerate as we hope it, many of us hope it will, action to control climate change, it means that there’s going to be a capital loss on those things,” said Lord Stern. According to Lord Stern, it is important to understand that investing in hydrocarbon is a very risky business.

Welcome to the home of “In Plain Sight,” a special initiative by NBC News to report on poverty in America, especially as it appears in forms and in places that many people overlook or choose to ignore.
With more than 46 million Americans living below the poverty line, including 16 million children, our goal is to put a human face on a problem that often can seem overwhelming.
We also plan to cover efforts to ease or even eradicate poverty. This includes heroic individuals who have devoted their lives to working among the poor and the debate over the proper role of government in fighting the problem.
What, exactly, is “poverty”? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it’s less than $11,945 per year for a single person, and $23,283 for a family of four.
Nearly a quarter of people in poverty have jobs, but their pay is so low that they still don’t have enough money to meet basic needs like food, shelter, clothing and health care. It’s also worth noting that women are more likely to be poor than men, and African-Americans, Latinos and Native-Americans are more likely to be poor than whites.
