Isn’t it amazing that liberals are so used to lying they don’t even realize they are the worst enemies against action on Climate Change? Truly. Nobody believes them anymore because they are so reckless with the truth, so hysterical about every issue.
Check out this whopper from the article:
“A 2018 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that global economic damages by 2100 would reach $54 trillion with a 1.5-degrees Celsius of warming of the planet, $69 trillion with 2 degrees Celsius of warming and $551 trillion with 3.7 degrees Celsius of warming.”
Current global GDP is $88 trillion. And the projection of a 2 degree rise in temperature would produce damages of $551 trillion! Are you laughing yet?
Here is what they left out (as usual. Hard to scare people if you tell the truth): Those projections are if we DO NOTHING between now and then. Will science find solutions? Of course, plenty of them and we already have one in hand if liberals wanted to stop CO2 production in 20 years: it’s called nuclear energy, carbon free and cost competitive with fossil fuels, and 75% of energy production in liberal Sweden and France.
Here is what else Insurance Journal left out: those scary damages figures are NOT one year figures, they are long-term aggregates. How many years? Well, Insurance Journal does not want you to know that. It won’t make the Scary Monster so scary.
But you know, if Insurance Journal told the truth, we might actually start to trust them and the rest of the media and do something about climate change.
EVERY single thing? You cited two numbers not in the article, and both were wrong. But go ahead and think EVERY single thing you said was factually true even though you were wrong about the only stats you posted.
GDP is calculated *annually* and the estimation of $551 trillion is *cumulative*.
I can’t believe I have to explain this but a cumulative cost of $551 trillion includes *the cost of all previous years’ investment*. Road, houses, water systems, power plants wiped out by fires, hurricanes, floods, etc – those are not going to necessarily be reflected in an annual GDP. But the value that has been created over decades would be reflected if it is lost.
But there’s something else when we actually estimate the cost of climate change. Stuff like our roads and bridges and cars – these are easy to estimate the price of because they have a price in the market. But there are other costs that aren’t easy to calculate. If x number of people are killed in wildfires, for example, how much does a life cost? What is the cost of disruption to business from massive hurricanes? What are the secondary costs to the economy of areas that are destroyed, or areas that have to be vacated, such as coastal cities? Hell, what is the cost of how damn hot it is in the summer? These costs may not be easy to calculate but they are real. And the takeaway from all of this is that the costs are beyond what we can afford.
global warming and climate change is a major issue for todays life and tomorrow future ,If we want to save our future we have to take care of our nature from heavy pollution and over population of some countries.
Spare us, Craig Cornell.
So the insurance industry which covers TRILLIONS in assorted infrastructure worldwide wouldn’t know the numbers on this?
But a posting dipshit genius like you does?
Gee….you’re my new go-to guy on climate change…

Love the Down Votes from the ignorant. EVERY single thing I said is factually true. Every single thing.
Disagree? Prove me wrong Down Voters. (Prediction: running and hiding instead. Or name calling like children, the usual response.)

Craig: Current global GDP is $88 trillion
Fact: You’re roughly $8,000,000,000 off there buddy

Craig: nuclear energy “….75% of energy production in liberal Sweden…”
Fact: Nuclear accounts for at most 40% of Sweden’s energy

how do you have time to produce?
I think and type fast. Plus, this stuff makes me laugh, a great break.

I just realized something . . . $551 trillion in damages mean we are all going to starve to death!
Oh my god, do something Climate Zealots. This is horrible! (Hilarious. The number alone.)
So AOC says we don’t have more than 12 years anyway. Why rebuild all the buildings in the US, kill all the cows off and ground all airplanes?
