In President Trump’s June 1st speech withdrawing the U.S from the Paris Climate Accord, he claimed that the climate agreement was costing American workers. In a whole lot of ways: In terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories and vastly diminishing economic production.

Of course, doing nothing about climate change is also an option. But what is the economic price… of that choice?

A team of economists and scientists set out to answer that question, by linking up economic and climate models to estimate how much warming temperatures could cost the U.S economy.

And they found that for every degree Celsius the temperature goes up, it docks the U.S gross domestic product, the GDP, by 1.2 percent.
You know, if you’re already a really hot location, heating up is really harmful. Solomon Hsiang, an economist at UC Berkeley.

Going from 70 to 75 isn’t nearly as bad as going from 90 to 95. Add in hurricane damage, small crop yields, lost jobs, an increase in death and disease…
And the analysis find that climate change could eat up 20 percent of poorest countries’ income by the end of century. Effectively we’re harming the poorer populations and in some cases we’re helping the relatively **wealthier northern populations. So this means that climate change can actually increase inequality with the United States.

The study in the journal Science. Warming temperature probably won’t help President Trump reach his forecasted three percent growth rate for the U.S economy, either.
You know, this is essentially gonna slow down the growth rate gradually, In the other words: it won’t be a good climate for negotiation.
