Apocalyptic Claims About Climate Change Are Wrong
Apocalyptic claims about climate change <i>from both sides</i> are wrong.<p>As the article says, climate change won&#x27;t destroy human civilization.<p>Halting climate change won&#x27;t destroy the economy, nor would it significantly affect it.   It&#x27;d cost on the order of a trillion dollars.   That&#x27;s a crazy amount of money, but the US can and will spend that kind of money regularly.   For instance, it&#x27;s comparable to the Iraq War or the Apollo project.  It&#x27;s less than WWII.<p>And it&#x27;s not like the trillion would disappear; it&#x27;s being spent in the economy.   And via the broken windows measurement fallacy of economics, it would likely increase our GDP rather than decrease it.
