Of course, she's wrong, but when Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said unabated climate change will end the world in 12 years, she was only saying what most people are thinking.https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/426353-ocasio-cortez-the-world-will-end-in-12-years-if-we-dont-address …

The truth is, that global warming will have a negative impact but fairly small Best estimate (update from UN climate panel by Nobel Laureate Nordhaus): The effect of unmitigated climate change in 2100 is equivalent to a reduction in incomes of 2-4% https://www.nber.org/reporter/2017number3/nordhaus.html …pic.twitter.com/MnABmS0a6T

Ocasio-Cortez: The world will end in 12 years, and your concern is cost? She should have said: Climate will cost 0.2% more of GDP by 2030, and your concern is cost? Hell yes Spending lots to do little is bad And many other issues need attentionpic.twitter.com/ifp7bnsc60

Most people don't understand how the costs of climate can be so small But that is because media overplays most costs E.g. cost of extreme weather makes up an ever *smaller* part of global GDP https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17477891.2018.1540343 …pic.twitter.com/JpBIzsh2k4

And perhaps surprisingly, ever fewer people die from climate-related disasters In 1920s, half a million people died each year, this decade about 20,000 Global population has increased four-fold, meaning individual climate risk declined almost 99% https://www.facebook.com/bjornlomborg/photos/a.221758208967.168468.146605843967/10156615395793968/?type=3&theater …pic.twitter.com/sB5UWgcU0f

That’s a stunning drop in climate related deaths. What are the top reasons for the reduction?

that we're much richer and hence much more resilient, better able to deal with remaining problems and have much better knowledge (warning systems etc)
