Don't trust neoclassical economists to understand macroeconomics, let alone climate science: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14747731.2020.18...

Economists aren’t doing climate science, they’re relying on IPCC models of what would happen.
What you’re saying is “don’t trust economics experts to translate climate scientists’ projections into economic impact.” That’s silly.

I agree, they are not doing climate science. Instead, they are equating changes in global climate over time with differences in local climate in space and then extrapolating that "simplifying assumption" into absurd conclusions, such as that a 5 degree increase in the average temperature of the globe would only reduce global GDP by 5 percent.

> In reality, we only have about 10-15 years before complete ecological collapse.
"In reality, climate change is a pre-text for Marxist takeover of the economy.... Question is, what's in it for you to repeat the lies of communist revolutionaries?"
If we just ignore the scientific consensus, we can play this game all day.
