A report warning of the economic implications of climate change on the world's poor has brought together environmental and development groups, and has been endorsed by Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The report, entitled "Up in Smoke?" was written by Andrew Simms of the New Economics Foundation in Britain, and was launched by RK Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It calls for cuts in emissions far beyond Kyoto Protocol targets or risk failure with poverty reduction as part of the millennium development goals.
