'The economy produces emissions, which feed into the climate models, which produce effects, which are applied as a “damage function” to the economic models. '
'Projections of modest economic impacts from even the most severe climate change affect climate politics in a number of ways. '
'Such models are “integrated” in that they include economic and climate models in interaction. '
'Political mobilization on climate change is going to fight a headwind as long as policymakers are getting those answers from models. '
