We now have decades of data of a world that is 1-1.5 degrees warmer. A precise analysis of how the world has reacted to this warming shows empirical evidence that climate change has a dramatic effect on economic productivity already.

Analyzing what this type of damages imply until 2050, under the optimistic assumption that we will limit climate d/change to 2° leads to the headline figure.
