Here we go
"2°C warming would imply [...] average
GDP per capita would be reduced by 13% by 2100.
By comparison, economic impacts at 1.5°C on GDP
growth would be almost indistinguishable from
current conditions (1°C)." https://350.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/The_Peoples_Dossi...
13% is like setting the global economy back 10 years by 2100. If we stop using oil, how much will it reduce GDP?
Other predictions are pretty tame, like a 60% increase in fires by 2100. So what? That's not as bad as HIV or cigarettes.
