Here they use the argument that between 35-125 million people will get flooded each year, even at 2°C (but they conveniently forget to say, this is without adaptation)pic.twitter.com/x9ApgYpcBt

What a terribly poor report Argues everything is worse than what climate economic models show Take just one example: it looks at sea level rise but decides to ignore adaptation So, it absurdly suggests people over the next 80 years get more and more flooded but do nothinghttps://twitter.com/lordstern1/status/1174983819297845250 …

Here is the actual paper, they reference. Clearly, it states that this is without adaptation https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsta.2016.0448 …pic.twitter.com/kFJSeQRR7c

And the very same lead author (Nicholls) has already long ago pointed out that if you include realistic adaptation, the scary numbers will collapse with adaptation "the problem of environmental refugees almost disappears." https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsta.2010.0291 …pic.twitter.com/HGJMQgfZBR

Sure, if your goal is to scare people silly on climate, silly assumptions like no adaptation give you big, scary numbers But you also relinquish the right to be taken seriously This simply doesn't help inform the political discussion on smart climate policy

World leaders aren't misled but actually informed by sensible economic modeling (that includes realistic adaptation) But with arguments like this report, using absurd and unrealistic flood numbers, they are being misled by Nick Sternhttps://twitter.com/lordstern1/status/1174983819297845250 …

From the man who's expert on mis-use of statistics. Check out past statements on sea-level rise in 2008. Used two years of static levels to try and confuse everyone that it wasn't happening.

I followed the money and it led me to Al Gore and the $1 billion he’s managed to inveigle out of climate hysteria. Thanks for the tip

If things are worse than climate models show, does that not mean the climate models can't be relied on?
