IPCC’s own model shows that carbon taxes won’t affect warming—but they will make us much poorer

MAGICC calculator reveals that cuts in carbon emissions will reduce ‘warming’ by a fraction of a degree Celsius, while globally costing trillions of dollars.

Summary

The IPCC’s MAGICC model shows that even with a 100% reduction in carbon emissions by developed nations, global warming would only be reduced by a minuscule 0.13°C by 2050. This tiny reduction comes at a staggering cost, with a McKinsey study estimating US$275 trillion globally by 2050. Instead of focusing on carbon taxes, we should be using our fossil-fuel wealth to develop adaptation strategies and gradually, over several decades, transition to other energy sources.

Book review: Paul MacRae’s ‘Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science’

By Derek Burney, Western Standard, February 14, 2026

Derek H. Burney is a former 30-year career diplomat who served as Ambassador to the United States of America from 1989-1993

Paul MacRae’s book Through the Looking Glass: A Citizen’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Climate Science (available on Amazon) is a meticulous repudiation of the pseudo-science that has driven the debate, nationally and internationally, on climate change or global warming for decades. The fact that apocalyptic prophesies by “experts” like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have not materialized should be proof enough but MacRae digs deeper to expose the fallacies versus the facts.… Read more

IPCC’s own model shows carbon taxes will have trivial effect on ‘global warming’

MAGICC calculator reveals that cuts in carbon emissions will reduce ‘warming’ by a fraction of a degree Celsius, while costing trillions of dollars.

By Paul MacRae, Climate Realists of B.C., October 22, 2025

Summary

The IPCC’s MAGICC model shows that carbon taxes will have a negligible impact on global warming, reducing temperatures by only a fraction of a degree Celsius. Despite this, the cost of achieving these reductions is projected to be trillions of dollars, making it an economically unfeasible solution. Instead, we should focus on adapting to a warmer climate and gradually transitioning to alternative energy sources like nuclear power.
