US has caused $10tn worth of climate damage since 1990, research finds
Guardian1 day
U.S. carbon emissions since 1990 caused $10 trillion in damages worldwide, and that debt keeps growing — future costs will dwarf what's already been paid. Every ton of CO2 emitted in 1990 will rack up $1,840 in damage by 2100, dwarfing the $180 already incurred. Holding the biggest emitters accountable isn't radical — it's basic economic justice.
The climate apocalypse industry runs on government cash, not hard evidence — pull the funding and the movement goes quiet. Temperature records cherry-pick urban heat islands while ignoring vast rural and ocean regions, making the data a statistical fiction. The IPCC's own shifting predictions on cold extremes prove the "consensus" is built on shaky, agenda-driven ground.
