Do we hear about this multi-trillion dollar rolling climate impact from economists? Of course not, because its time scale is greater than 10 years. And so they continue to 'predict' negligible effects on GDP in the face of apocalyptic destruction.
@NyadolNyuon Three things that have kept me going ...: susurrus in the trees (the sound of the wind whispering, rustling), apricity (the feeling of sun warming cold skin on a winter’s day) and, of course, the delicious smell of petrichor. https://t.co/Y2A7eem7zr
