Climate models underestimate economic damages and overestimate policy costs - Vox

'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. '

'The most straightforward way to better integrate tipping points into IAMs would be to increase the steepness of the damage function. '
