Eine Reanalyse ergibt, dass starke räumliche Korrelationen zwischen Regionen frühere Studien bedeuten können, dass sie das Vertrauen in klimafaronische Schadensschätzungen überbewertet haben.

The lack of accuracy of predicting future climate change economic damage estimates is common knowledge. It also shows that the earlier models have done their job so to speak in that human economies have adapted or changed in response to the warning of the models. The models are usually meant to show if we continue down the same paths, this is probably what will happen. In response to this, most countries then take action and so we end up on a tangent that couldn’t be anticipated exactly. These models are meant to inform decision making, they aren’t meant to be oracles dispensing fate.
