The "it's gonna wreck the economy!" argument takes another hit.
The world's major cities are also among the planet's worst polluters but they have the solutions to most of their problems at their fingertips, a leading environmental consultancy said on Monday.
To make the case more compelling, consultancy McKinsey said that most of the available solutions would save more than they cost so made economic sense while the remainder still made environmental sense despite their higher cost. "Most of this is dooable and cost effective and worth doing irrespective of climate change," director Jeremy Oppenheim told a conference in London's City Hall to present the findings of the research sponsored by German industrial giant Siemens.
