Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn

The Guardian Environment2/5/2026

Summary

Experts warn that flawed economic models, which ignore shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points, could lead to a global financial crash due to the accelerating impact of the climate crisis. They state that recovery from such a crash would be significantly more difficult than after the 2008 financial crisis, as “we can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks.”
