Until now, economic models have been unfit to capture the full extent of climate damage. Traditionally, &#8220;integrated assessment models&#8221; (IAMs) were used to forecast &#8220;shock&#8221; events. IAMs use &#8220;quadratic function&#8221; to calculate GDP losses by squaring the temperature change, yet ignore other methods (such as the <b>exponential function<\/b>) that are better suited for rapid change. &#8220;Climate change is fundamentally different to other shocks because once it has hit, it doesn&#8217;t go away,&#8221; said Thierry Philipponnat, author of a report by Finance Watch, a Brussels-based public interest NGO on financial issues. &#8220;And if the fundamental assumption is flawed, all the rest makes little sense &#8212; if any.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reuters reported, &#8220;Critics say this (IAMs) choice is doomed to underplay the likely impact &#8211; particularly if the planet hits environmental <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Domino-Effect-Tipping-Points-Toppled.html\">tipping points<\/a> in which damage is not only irreversible but happens at <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Climate-Change-Acceleration-Rate.html\">an ever-accelerating rate<\/a>.&#8221; Thierry Philipponnat&#8217;s report, <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/notes\/Finance-in-a-Hot-House-World.pdf\">Finance in a Hot House World<\/a>, concludes: &#8220;Climate risk is growing to disruptive levels throughout the financial system and the guardians of financial stability urgently need to adapt their tools to regain control.&#8221; The report calls for economic models that do not mislead, scenario analyses that prepare the market, and a new prudential tool to address the build-up of systemic climate risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can I Do?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. <strong>Stop using fossil fuels.
