If that's how GDP worked, wouldn't it generally decrease with time as technology automates tasks?
What's funny about these future cost of climate change studies is even this incorrectly-pessimistic one just say that in 2100 we'll be about as rich as we would have been in 2090. 2090 level climate-change-free wealth sounds fantastic! That's not a disaster. There are doomers who're sure it'll be the end of civilization or otherwise a huge disaster but there are no quantified predictions showing that.
