a small team of researchers analyzed how local economies have responded to the last 40 years of warming and projected those effects forward to 2050. They find that we’re already committed to warming that will see the growth of the global economy undercut by 20 percent. That places the cost of even a limited period of #climatechange<\/a> at roughly six times the estimated price of putting the world on a path to limit the warming to 2\u00b0 C https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-024-07219-0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
