    I believe you shifted the decimal place. You should have 6%, not 0.006%

    6% per degree of warming, and it could be 3 or 4 degrees or whatever…I believe they used 3.5° and a total damage of ~20% as one of the projections for the end of the century.

    They also call for significant losses to production by 2050.

      They were actually right. Whoever transcribed that quote didn’t get the correct Calorie. Not to blame them.
