Global Boiling To Make People 40% Poorer By 2100 Or Something

I’d ask who gets fired and loses their reputation when this doesn’t happen, but, the whole idea here is to make a scary prognostication so far in the future that no one will remember it

The real cost of climate change: Global warming could make the average person 40% poorer by 2100, scientists warn

The cost of climate change will be almost four times higher than we thought, a new study has warned.

Scientists from the University of South Wales warn that just 4°C (7.2°F) of warming will make the average person 40 per cent poorer by 2100.

And it’s particularly bad news for Britons, who will be 46.5 per cent poorer, according to the researchers.

Even if global warming is capped at just 2°C (3.6°F), the researchers found that global GDP per person – a measure of economic output – will fall by 16 per cent.

That is a huge increase from more conservative estimates, which suggested 2°C (3.6°F) of warming would lead to a 1.4 per cent decrease in GDP.

Oh, so now we’re doing 4C? They kinda blew right past 1.5, 2, and 3 for this bid of fearmongering

The reason these costs are so much higher than earlier predictions is that the researchers have taken the impact of global weather into account for the first time.

Lead author Dr Timothy Neal says: ‘Because these damages haven’t been taken into account, prior economic models have inadvertently concluded that even severe climate change wasn’t a big problem for the economy – and it’s had profound implications for climate policy.’

Yeah yeah yeah. They’re always looking for some way to doomsay in order to increase the power of the government via the climate cult. And no credentialed media outlet will actually require these climate cult scientists to prove what they are saying. There is zero journalistic skepticism.
