I sincerely doubt that whatever the math shows in this paper by these 2 Millenial Economistas it will make a damn bit of difference to policymakers and CEOs of Big Oil companies.  Definitely not on either Uncle Joe or The Donald's reading lists.  They are still working through The Cat in the Hat.

Trying to account for all the economic effects of Climate Change is like trying to herd cats.  There are effects all over the place and trying to isolate them to put a finger on how much it costs is pretty much impossible.  In reality, practically 100% of the economics are going to be affected, because when the FAMINE hits and people are dying by the truckload, they won't be driving, shopping online or paying taxes or rent.  It will cost money to collect the bodies and dig graves though.
