This data seems relevant. It would be interesting to see something like Image:Extreme-weather-cost.gif in this article, but without the controversial and potentially inaccurate future projections (and with data filled in for the missing years). -- Beland 04:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How does this make sense?
In the begining of the Mitigation section: "The sooner action must be taken, the shorter the period over which costs must be spread,..." Shouldn't this be: The sooner action takes place, the longer the period.... or possibly: The sooner the problem needs to be solved, the shorter the period ....

And here's another, from Intro, para. 2: "McKibbin and Wilcoxen do not endorse GDP as a welfare measure." ???, tagged. Puzzled, Pete Tillman 22:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I just discovered this page, and it strikes me it could be titled "McKibbin and Wilcoxen define the Economics of global warming" Yikes! It's all very well to have a scholarly source, but there are in fact more than two researchers discussing this important subject. I'll see what more I can turn up. I'm attending a graduate seminar on global warming and we've got a stack of assigned readings I can look through.Birdbrainscan 02:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cost of Reducing Fossil Fuel Use
I started editing and found it needed some better background to set up what the question is. I wrote some basic background, but I realize this is not sourced and could potentially be criticized as original (though I didn't think up any of this myself.) I'll have to get busy looking for sources. Obviously the big omission here is failing to mention the Stern Report - that's got to be added. Birdbrainscan 03:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
