So if you look at what the literature actually says and what the consensus says, the UN report, well, the key question you have to ask yourself is what is the cost of climate change? And so it answers that question. And The cost [of climate change] is actually about a 4 1/2% decrease in global GDP from what it otherwise would be. So by the year 2100 you would see if our trends continue a 450% increase in GDP because of climate change, they would assess it's a 434 increase in global GDP. (27:55–28:07)
