Climate problem is like diabetes, not an asteroid hurling towards earth One way to know is that even the people selling catastrophe are suggesting moderate solutions https://thebreakthrough.org/articles/is-climate-change-like-diabetes …pic.twitter.com/OsUWioRk14
Another way to know climate is like diabetes, not an asteroid: Global warming will create net costs to the world worth 2-4% by 2100 — in a world that is 300-1000% richer Here from climate Nobel economist, update of UN Climate Panel https://www.nber.org/reporter/2017number3/nordhaus.html …pic.twitter.com/QpDMgurS90
It would be interesting to estimate the cost in terms of damage to the trust of the institutions.
Discounting the future gets you a lovely graph. Economics for a dead planet. So let's keep scoffing the cream cakes, but remove the chocolate sprinkles, as you suggest.
In diabetes, the minimum insulin level is controlled to keep someone alive. When we speak of earthly ecosystem services we do not know for sure what the limit is, here is the difference. It is only the precautionary principle that offers the prudent approach.
I am diabetic. Hardly a worthy comparison. Complications to diabetes include death. Hardly the same issue with climate change.
"The uncertainties are particularly pronounced because of the long time periods — literally hundreds of years" Ya! you can say that again. Any model that cannot account for civil/political unrest has limited value. It isn't the storms that are the concern!
In a linear world Bjorn : the sky is the limit. But we live in an exponential world. With highly connected complex interactions: insects gone, plastics in the ocean, antibiotics and bio industry, freshwater crisis, economics... human mindset.

Most historical data tell of large climate variability, and the warmer periods are labeled as "Optimum" for a reason. Cost/benefit calc. with present conditions as baseline is misleading. Anyone tried a comparison with Little Ice Age "years without summer"?
Diabetes analogy of climate change works for me. Good treatment & responsible lifestyle can stem it (in rare cases even reverse it). W/o those, u get deterioration, abrupt and nasty complications, drastic treatments...and early death. So how long have we been gorging the cakes?
Ah... Bjorn... That graph only represents damages from tropical cyclones. You might want to follow your own link and read the paragraph associated with the graph.
no, it is the full damage. Read the sentence right after the para you suggested: "But that [hurricanes] is only a small slice of damage."
