A major report on the economic impact of climate change published by the insurance giant Swiss Re and heavily promoted by Oxfam and the media is misleading the public, according to a rebuttal published today by the Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF).
Author Tim Worstall says that Swiss Re’s claim climate change would reduce world GDP by 8.5% per year is highly deceptive because it fails to take account of economic growth.
The economy in 2050 is likely to be much bigger as a result of economic growth and smaller as a result of any damage due to climate change that may occur. In other words, the world our children will experience will be the net result of these two effects.
But as Worstall explains, Swiss Re has simply left out one half of the equation:
“They have simply ignored the benefits of economic growth and only discuss the costs of climate change impacts. In fact, the whole paper has been written in a way that obscures the fact that they have used this trick.”
GWPF director, Dr. Benny Peiser said:
“Once again, we see the public being misled by academic trickery and half-truths. This is no longer surprising, but it is still shameful behavior by Swiss Re and Oxfam.”

Noting that back in the 1970s liberal rags like Time and Newsweek were going on about Global Cooling and New Ice Age
Any level of CO2 below 2,000ppm is a starvation level low. This in science is known as the CO2 fertilization effect. More CO2 is always better. Because life is quite literally built from CO2. How? Life is carbon-based. Every fat, every protein, even life’s DNA is built on a carbon molecular backbone. Yet left-wing politics and main stream media fails to grasp even the basics of CO2 biology. And how much greener, stronger, more abundant, and more drought-tolerant life is because of more CO2. Barry Bateman, B.Sc.(biology) P.S. CO2 is not a cause of temperature change – it is a follower. CO2 goes up and down with temperature in nature because of temperature variable CO2 solubility. CO2 level changes lag temperatures, they do not lead them.
