Typical BS reporting from The Guardian – the study is based on RCP8.5 scenario – also known as the “impossible scenario” which is regarded as physically impossible.
If you want your study to be published and get headlines in content mills like The Guardian (and most of the MSM), you use the highly unrealistic RCP8.5 scenario.
In fact, the real world has been trending on the 2+ scenarios, which are far less of scary headline. But the whole point of these studies and the media is to create scary headlines: Climate crisis: average world incomes to drop by nearly a fifth by 2050 | Climate crisis | The Guardian
The Guardian is a content mill.
