Economists and Scientists Deeply Disagree About the Cost of Climate Change

Natural disasters and extreme weather can happen without warning, and being prepared for these events is critical. And with the impacts of climate change, more Americans than ever are at risk of natural disasters. How can families and communities prepare? This series shares real stories from people affected by natural disasters and educates viewers on how they can be prepared.

Economists and Scientists Deeply Disagree About the Cost of Climate Change

Season 6 Episode 14 | 14m 14s | CC

Climate scientists warn of climate disaster. But economists? Many say the economic hit from global warming will be negligible. But a new study shows the cost could be way worse than we once thought. In this episode, we reveal exactly how much poorer we will be in 2100, break down why previous models got it wrong, what this study means for our future, and the “goldilocks” path to decarbonization.
