Is there any reliable, well documented estimate of the discounted damage costs attributable to increasing CO2 concentration, or to an increase in average global temperature?

The net effect of their adjustments on their global temperature estimates was unrealistically low, particularly for recent decades, when urbanization bias is expected to have increased.

Since the start of each estimate (usually 1880), they all suggest that global temperatures have been fairly steadily increasing by about 0.8 °C / century.

««Removing the annual emissions traced to 90 major carbon producers from the best estimate full historical forcing case shows that the combustion of their products from 1880 to 2010 led to a 0.4 (± 0.01) °C increase in [global mean standard temperature]...» This claim is absolutely bogus.

A global temperature increase of 3.5 %, comfortably within the current range of estimates for the end of this century, would put paid to half the rainforest.

They also use their results to estimate the transient climate response (TCR), which refers to the global mean temperature change that is realised at the time of CO2 doubling in a scenario in which CO2 concentrations increase by 1 % per year.

Also according to the IPCC, a 4 °C increase in temperatures would cause total estimated economic losses of 1 — 5 percent of global GDP.

Recent studies estimate that even for conservative global mean temperature increases, between 11 % and 34 % of species alive today could be threatened with extinction.
