is $80 trillion a year, which it would be in 2090 if it grows at 2%, a year, that sounds like a lot. But it is only three years worth of growth in 2090. Namely, our growth in the economy in the US, for example, would be delayed by only two or three years for warming that's much greater than what the Paris Accord aspires to limit us to. Now, you can disbelieve the economists, all right? On the other hand, that's what the science currently says. What about ecosystem decline? How much of that is climate related? Like, what is our degree of certainty around that and how it'll be impacted by rising temperatures? Do we have some idea? Yeah, I have not studied the ecosystem parts of the UN or US government reports in great detail. My impression is the science is on the standards of physical science certainly is pretty murky. And again, you have a lot of trouble disentangling natural variability from effects caused by rising temperatures, which may or may not be caused largely by human (47/57)
