The results are from "a new set of climate simulations." A simulation can easily be wrong. These results say Ireland's GDP growth per capita will be unaffected by climate change and Britain's GDP growth per capita will increase if temperatures rise 2C, but I find it hard to believe these islands wouldn't be hurt. Why should we trust these maps?

Climate migration causes population growth which causes GDP growth.

  The map shows per capita figures, which immigration would probably decrease.
