Study: Climate Change Will Cost $38 Trillion a Year By 2049

A new study suggests that left unchecked, climate change will come with a hefty price tag. The study, published in 'Nature,' found that climate change will cost $38 trillion dollars a year by 2049. Compared to a world with no warming, researchers at the Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research calculated that global GDP will be 19 percent lower.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is so much fiddle faddle!  A greater scientific mind, Greta Thunberg, has declared the earth is going to burn up before then. :nono:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Is that in 2024 dollars or is that projected with inflation to 2049?

And is that the cost of 'fixing' it, increased energy costs, living in a world without petrochemicals, and does it include groceries?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You can get a "study" to prove pretty much anything you want, depending on what data one chooses to include or exclude, and how one chooses to interpret the results.

Global warming would result in more abundant and productive agriculture - in other words: more food for human consumption. 

But that's not what the Church of Warmism really wants, is it?

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
