"The results published by the IPCC and the official US National Climate Assessment suggest even that global warming will only have only minor effects on the world economy."

As the financial crisis has shown, I would be very careful before letting the future of the planet depend on the predictions of neoclassical economists. Professor Steve Keen, for example, has written[1] about the absurdity of some assumptions in which these predictions are based.

The future of the planet cannot depend on anyone's predictions -- that's a category error.

What you are referring to is "consensus", e.g. gatekeeping. This is similar to the deplatforming crisis. For some reason a lot of people are convinced that things like opinions or predictions are going to destroy their lives, or the planet, etc, who knows, perhaps even justice and gravity are at risk. It would help everyone to gain some more perspective and lay off the world-ending rhetoric, which has taken on a life of its own in a small, yet highly unstable proportion of the population.
