Bis 2050 werden die Klimaschäden sechsmal so hoch sein wie die Kosten einer Begrenzung der Erwärmung auf 2°

A study published in *Nature* by researchers at the Potsdam Institute, Germany’s leading climate science center, finds that we’re already committed to warming that will see the growth of the global economy undercut by nearly 20 percent. That places the cost of even a limited period of climate change at roughly six times the estimated price of putting the world on a path to limit the warming to 2° C.

10x? 50x? 200x? What would the number need to be to be compelling enough in 2024 to get something done now versus making it the problem of the “2050 people”? Humans are frustrating.

According to NASA climatologist and climate activist [Dr. James Hansen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hansen), becoming an [active volunteer with Citizens‘ Climate Lobby](https://citizensclimatelobby.org/join-citizens-climate-lobby/?tfa_3590416195188=Online-002&utm_source=Online&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=002) is [the most important thing you can do for climate change](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4DAW1A6Ca8).

I used [MIT’s climate policy simulator](https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?v=23.2.1) to order its climate policies from least impactful to most impactful. You can see the results [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CitizensClimateLobby/comments/11kzxt9/i_used_mits_climate_policy_simulator_to_order_its/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

Private corporations wont be paying it, so why would they care? Lobbying remains at full swing and the politicians pockets are free from fear as well. Tax PAYERS will see the cost, not the tax TAKERS.
