I don't have the figures with me, but I think I can provide the committee with some documents if you want to look at them.
Two reports from the Canadian Climate Institute provide a whole range of fairly detailed economic analyses of the effects on GDP in both pessimistic and optimistic greenhouse gas emission scenarios as a way of sampling uncertainty. The information is readily available.
I could add to that. I've been working in this field for 25 years. Twenty-five years ago, when I gave presentations on climate change, people kind of thought of me as an alien talking about faraway stuff. All that stuff is happening now. Science did a good job of predicting what is happening now. Naturally, people are afraid that, over the next 25 years, things will not improve. In fact, it's going to get worse before it gets better. That's why I invite all decision-makers to use the available science, which tells us about future risks, as much as possible.
