Shell, which in the course of contributing to global warming posted a $9 billion profit in the third quarter of this year, has just released a report showing that climate change could, in fact, create a market opportunity for British businesses amounting to more than $60 billion over the next 10 years.

Presumably, that’s an opportunity for British businesses, because North American businesses and governments are still trying to deny that argue that climate change – “if it’s happening” – is too expensive to address.
