global income loss from a temperature rise of about 2C is
between 0.2 and 2 percent — but losses, the report warns, «are more likely than not to be greater, rather than smaller, than this range.»

global climate is likely to be
between 1 and 3 per cent of
global income.
In terms of the likely economic consequences of climate change, it found that additional temperature increases of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (compared to late 20th century temperatures) would cause
global annual economic losses of
between 0.2 to 2 % of
income, with losses more likely to be on the higher end of the scale.
