The cost of the Paris Climate Accord is higher than the cost of doing nothing

See If we ignore costs of climate regulation on average Americans, we risk a catastrophe by James W. Coleman of Fox News. Excerpt:

"The central fact of climate regulation is that both climate change and climate change regulation can impose catastrophic costs on citizens of the United States and the world. As the world warms, we will all have to spend more to protect ourselves from climate change. And climate regulation will force us all to pay more for nearly every aspect of our lives—for power, for fuel, for housing, for every item we buy. Any plan that ignores one of these costs threatens disaster.

The world’s premier climate change economist is William Nordhaus. His 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics was widely celebrated for showing the dire risks of climate change. In his Nobel lecture, he warned that unrestrained climate change could cost the world more than $20 trillion—about $3,000 for every man, woman, and child on the planet.

But Nordhaus also warned that climate regulation could impose even more catastrophic costs. World climate accords like the Paris Agreement aim to keep climate change under two degrees Celsius. Nordhaus acknowledged that this aggressive goal would limit the cost of climate change to $6 trillion, but showed that it would cost the world $36 trillion—about $5,000 for every man, woman, and child."
