My perception is that this site indicates that more than half the countries show net GDP gain. That doesn’t mean it’s a global net gain. I noticed Canada first. But relatively few people live in Canada, mainly because it’s too cold. The FAQ indicates that the site author was perplexed at the gains as well. I haven’t looked at the methodology, but it’s often the case that cold kills more than heat. Edit: so that’s how you get a double post. Deleted comments always make me wonder what I missed, so I’ll leave this. I was about to add that I think the site ignores sea level change. I find that issue perplexing. Even the biggest projections show less rise than the daily tides cause now. Obviously not good for coastal property, but there are plenty of mitigation strategies, including relocating.
Dunno who left the deleted comments, wasn't me. Check your email... I'm curious. Maybe mk removed some spam? Economically, I think of climate change as yet another opportunity for the wealthy to perpetuate wealth inequality. Subconsciously or otherwise.
Sure, because disparities in wealth distribution break down along racial lines. Both nationally and globally. Climate change will disproportionally affect non-whites. Good point.
