IT IS FAR TOO EXPENSIVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE: WE JUST NEED TO LIVE WITH IT!!

THE COSTS ARE ASTRONOMICAL: SIX TRILLION DOLLARS TO PHASE OUT FOSSIL FUELS AND REPLACE THEM WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY!!

Average incomes will fall by almost a fifth within the next 26 years as a result of the climate crisis, according to a study that predicts the costs of damage will be six times higher than the price of limiting global heating to 2C.

...

It also found that reducing emissions was far cheaper than doing nothing and accepting more severe impacts. By 2050, it calculated mitigation costs – for example, from phasing out fossils and replacing them with renewable energy – to be $6tn dollars, which is less than a sixth of the median damage costs for that year of $38tn.

THESE SOCIALISTS WHO BELIEVE IN SO-CALLED "SCIENCE" ARE ABSOLUTELY MAD!!

The worst effects of climate change will be felt by other people. That's just rotten luck for them. I'm sure they will all enjoy living in their Mad Max life and there will be zero repercussions for us!

YES, I AM FIRMLY AGAINST LIFTING SO MUCH AS A FINGER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE I AM GENUINELY AND SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE POOREST!!

Rising temperatures, heavier rainfall and more frequent and intense extreme weather are projected to cause $38tn (£30tn) of destruction each year by mid-century, according to the research, which is the most comprehensive analysis of its type ever undertaken, and whose findings are published in the journal Nature.

The hefty toll – which is far higher than previous estimates – is already locked into the world economy over the coming decades as a result of the enormous emissions that have been pumped into the atmosphere through the burning of gas, oil, coal and trees.

This will inflict crippling losses on almost every country, with a disproportionately severe impact on those least responsible for climate disruption, further worsening inequality.

GENUINELY AND SINCERELY!!

Why don’t we spend the money on adaptation rather than acting like king canute

EXACTLY!!

WHY DON'T WE SPEND THE MONEY ON ADAPTATION?!?

the costs of damage will be six times higher than the price of limiting global heating to 2C... 

... mitigation costs – for example, from phasing out fossils and replacing them with renewable energy – to be $6tn dollars, which is less than a sixth of the median damage costs for that year of $38tn

THESE SOCIALISTS WITH THEIR "FACTS" AND "SCIENCE" ARE ACTING LIKE KING CANUTE!!

Highly dubious figures

QUITE!!

APPARENTLY BEING PRINTED IN A JOURNAL CALLED "NATURE":

the research, which is the most comprehensive analysis of its type ever undertaken, and whose findings are published in the journal Nature

HARDLY THE DAILY EXPRESS!!! 

The report is frightening, it's a shame the Guardian has slightly mangled its reporting of it. Its headline:

Climate crisis: average world incomes to drop by nearly a fifth by 2050

whereas the report says:

we fnd that the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next 26 years independent of future emission choices (relative to a baseline without climate impacts...)

If world incomes were going to drop 19% in absolute terms in 26 years, I would be buying tinned goods and ammo...

I FOR ONE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO FOREGO 20% OF MY POTENTIAL INCOME IF IT MEANT I CAN STILL PAY MONEY TO BUY PRECIOUS FREEDOM FUELS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND OWN A CAR WHICH MAKES A PROPER “BROOM BROOM” NOISE!!

Why do people give any credence to these methodological car crashes? 

IT IS RIDICULOUS!!

SURELY BY NOW THEY HAVE REALISED THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS JUST A SOCIALIST LIE PUT ABOUT BY WATERMELON - GREEN ON THE OUTSIDE BY RED ON THE INSIDE RED ON THE INSIDE!! - SCIENTISTS?!?

YOU WOULDN'T FIND THIS PRINTED IN THE DAILY EXPRESS!!
