Tackling the effects of climate change could cost governments around the world more than $100 billion a year, a United Nations panel of experts said Monday.
A report by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that a temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius will wipe out up to 2% of the world's income by 2050.
"If we get up to 4 degrees temperature rise, which most scientists now expect would happen if we carry on emitting greenhouse gasses as we do, then the cost could be much more severe," Chris Hope, a climate change researcher at Cambridge University said.
The combined cost of crop losses, rising sea levels, higher temperatures and fresh water shortages could mount of to between $70 and $100 billion a year, the report said.

True that. More IPCC, Maurice Strong, one-world, Marxism BS.
Wouldn’t it be cool if “we” were smart enough to pick an issue like this, where you can continually redefine the terms and shift ground without ever getting caught at it, so no matter what facts emerge, you’re always right, and always have the support of the big mouthpieces? It’s like they have their cake and not only eat it too, but get fresh candles to blow out and more wishes every day! No matter what the facts are, they can find a way to prove their argument. Too hot? Climate Change. Too windy? Climate Change. Nothing unusual? Well, that’s Climate Change too, just the calm before the storm.
4 degrees in the next 36 years? When there has been no warming for the last 17 years? Truly fantasy land.
They really want to change your Local Weather into Climate Change and when it fails what will they call their BULL next
Amirite?
You realize, of course, that if the governments had passed climate change laws years ago, this extremely cold winter would be used as “proof” that climate change laws work!
MORE TRUTHFUL:
Tackling the climate change scam could cost taxpayers around the world more than $100 billion a year
And every unhinged maniac has his hand out for it.
Climate change is going to cost $100 billion a year? Are people really going to spend that much on tulips and daffodils now that spring is here?
Money down the Climate Change Drain. Doing nothing would cost nothing and the consequences would be nothing except that the world would have $100 billion a year that it could leave in the hands of the real owners of that wealth rather than in the hands of a bunch of racketeer politicians.
The 100 billion barely covers the weather. Global warming fanatics are going to cost us trillions before a cold cycle puts an end to their scams.
Tuned on CNN for a few minutes this morning. That was enough for me - Talking again (still and forever) about MH370 while the scroll at the bottom highlighted the doom and gloom over the latest IPCC report. Flight 370 is the only thing that has saved their abysmal ratings this past month.
And fighting climate change - that is, opposing the four seasons to the eternal profit of Boxer, Kerry, Markey, Gore et al - will cost untold trillions.
But, hey, it’s a good cause. Can’t have too many carbon billionaires, can we?
And who doesn’t want to eliminate for all time thunder, lightning, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, rain, fog and drizzle, right?
Perfect climate for all, abundant crops without sources of water, life’s a beach.
That would be great, but I am afraid the planet will not cooperate and we’ve likely gotten about as warm as it’s gonna get for a long time.
