Leading global forecasts widely underestimate the future costs of climate change, a new paper warns. Current estimates for how much climate change will cost take different forms. These could increase the rate of climate change astronomically. • These forecasts are based on an average of all possible climate change scenarios, even though newer models account for the increased likelihood of more warming. • The newer models are still largely abstract, but they also factor in how human uncertainty over climate change can potentially cause even more damage in the future.
