For researchers it meant funding and recognition. With the media it was attention-grabbing drama. To activists it was the mother of all eco-threats.  Business saw huge profits to be made, while bureaucrats recognised the potential for massive increases in power and control. For politicians it was a no-brainer, with strong popularity on one side and only denigration on the other.
