As hard as it might be to suss out the
impact of extreme weather in 2017, yet harder is sussing out the
impact of the changing climate, now and in the
future — due to the difficulty
of tying individual weather events to epochal changes like
global warming, the inability
of headline economic figures to capture the messy fullness
of human life, and the inadequacy
of the available data to measure changes in the natural and the economic world.
• Key economic sectors and services —

Problem is, it's pretty much just a retread
of the path the U.S. is already on, which isn't enough to keep
global warming from crossing the «dangerous» two degree Celsius threshold — a point above which scientific consensus paints an increasingly bleak
future, with
global impacts capable
of destabilizing human society.
But a new study published in the journal Science Advances has concluded that another
impact of global climate change might help coral reefs survive increasing sea temperatures: «even a modest sea level rise can substantially reduce temperature extremes within tide - dominated reefs, thereby partially offsetting the local effects
of future ocean
warming,» the authors
of the study write.
Last year, on behalf
of the U.S.
Global Change Research Program, an expert team
of scientists summarized the science
of climate change and the
impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the
future, and called the evidence
of a
warming climate «unequivocal,» primarily due to the use
of fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas — and the loss
of forests.
Indeed, without disregarding the ill - effects
of climate change now and in the
future, Dr Lomborg cites studies which demonstrate the net
impact of global warming is positive, for now, and will remain so for decades yet.
Resolving this dilemma must include a serious look at potential «winners and losers»
of a marginally
warmer world, as well as at the best available cost / benefit analyses
of the specific proposals being made to» reshape our common
future on a
global scale» and their total costs including the
impacts of all unintended consequences.
However, were
future technologies and policies able to achieve a rapid reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions â $» an approach termed â $ œmitigationâ $ â $» this would greatly lessen
future global warming and its
impacts.
Since the negative
impacts from
global warming / climate change scale with the magnitude
of the temperature rise, lower projections
of future warming should lead to lower projections
of future damages.
He added that the
impact of global warming is «minimal for the forseeable
future.»
Tol is a prolific and widely - cited author on the economic
impact of future climate change and is an advisor to the
Global Warming Policy Foundation, a British organization opposed to taking action on climate change.
