Climate Models Built on Endless Growth May Hide Best Solutions
Original: Climate Models Assume Endless Growth, and It May Be Hiding the Best Ways to Save the Planet
A new analysis argues that mainstream climate models assume continuous economic growth, and that this assumption may be obscuring the most effective ways to cut emissions. By treating growth as a given, the models could be overlooking approaches that question consumption levels themselves, limiting the range of strategies considered for meeting climate targets.
Why now: Debate over whether growth-dependent climate modelling distorts policy options is gaining attention as emissions targets slip.
