Lord Ashdown, co-chair of the
IPPR thinktank's commission on national security which delivered its interim report today,
warned the transfer of power from west to east and the growth of lawless spaces presented serious challenges to the changing international system.
As we saw, the
IPPR and the Director of the UK's Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research — none of them sceptics — were
warning back in 2006 that the climate change pudding had been over-egged, and was likely to damage the possibility of reaching the public.
