One Big Beautiful Bill Weakens US Climate Policy, Risks \$500 Billion in Investments

The One Big Beautiful Bill, signed in early July, significantly weakens the U.S.'s climate policy, jeopardizing \$500 billion in clean energy investments and potentially reducing new clean power capacity by 53–59% between 2025 and 2035, while studies show climate inaction will cause far greater econ...

How do the economic costs of climate action compare to the potential economic damages from inaction?

Failing to invest in climate action will lead to far greater economic losses than the initial investment costs. Studies show that each dollar invested in mitigation and adaptation could prevent up to \$14 in future damages, while inaction could result in a 25% reduction in global GDP.

Fossil Fuel Companies' $28 Trillion Extreme Heat Damage: A New Climate Liability Calculation

A Dartmouth College study reveals that emissions from 111 fossil fuel companies caused $28 trillion in extreme heat damage between 1991 and 2020, using a new methodology to link emissions to specific climate harms and potentially opening the door for climate change lawsuits.

How did the researchers establish a causal link between the emissions of specific companies and the economic impacts of extreme heat, and what established methodologies did they utilize?

The study establishes a causal link between the emissions of specific fossil fuel companies and the economic consequences of extreme heat. By using 1,000 computer simulations and comparing them to a world without those companies' emissions, researchers determined the precise contribution of each company to rising global temperatures and resultant economic losses. This methodology mirrors techniques used in attributing extreme weather events to climate change.

111 Companies Caused $28 Trillion in Climate Damage

A Dartmouth College study quantifies climate damage caused by 111 companies at $28 trillion since 1991, with Saudi Aramco incurring the highest losses ($2.05 trillion) primarily due to extreme heat resulting from their greenhouse gas emissions.

How does the study's methodology link specific companies' emissions to quantifiable climate damages, and what are the implications for legal action?

The study establishes a causal link between the emissions of 111 companies and $28 trillion in economic losses due to climate change, primarily extreme heat. This research utilizes advanced climate attribution science and extensive data to quantify the economic impact of specific corporate emissions, significantly advancing climate liability cases. The top five emitters alone account for $9 trillion in losses.
