"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Will There Be an End to Fossil Fuels, and If So When?

A Stanford University study published in Nature estimates that U.S. carbon emissions since 1990 have caused more than $10 trillion in global economic damages, with roughly $3 trillion of that falling within the U.S. itself.

A Stanford University study published in Nature estimates that U.S. carbon emissions since 1990 have caused more than $10 trillion in global economic damages, with roughly $3 trillion of that falling within the U.S. itself.

The same research found that U.S. emissions since 1990 caused an estimated $500 billion in economic damage in India and $330 billion in Brazil, with losses disproportionately affecting lower-income nations.

Emissions linked to Saudi Aramco between 1988 and 2015 resulted in $3 trillion in cumulative global economic damages by 2020. If those emissions remain in the atmosphere through 2100, the damage could rise more than 20-fold to $64 trillion.

The study estimates that one tonne of CO2 emitted in 1990 caused $180 in global damages by 2020 and will generate an additional $1,840 through 2100 — roughly 10 times the costs already incurred from that same emission.

The researchers developed a framework linking specific emissions to monetized damages, treating greenhouse gas emissions similarly to unpaid waste disposal costs. Study co-author Solomon Hsiang said the legacy of emissions is "similar" to garbage, "except we've never paid the bill."

The study notes that carbon removal could offset future damages, but its effectiveness diminishes over time — a 25-year delay between emission and removal would reduce expected damages by only 50%. Lead author Marshall Burke said the findings aim to contribute to "the broader policy discussion."
