London, Dec 10: Experts in Britain have said halting global warming could cost 150 pounds a year for every human.

According to the Met Office, that is the cost of cutting emissions by five per cent a year from 2020, but this would only give the world a 50 per cent chance of limiting climate change to the current international target.

Computer models have calculated that the cost would be 2.5 per cent of the world''s 36 trillion pound gross domestic product a year, which is the equivalent of 150 pounds for every person on the planet.

“The amount of carbon in the air is currently rising three per cent a year,” The Sun quoted Dr David Lowe, of the Met Office, as saying.

“There are pathways that lead to 2C, but they are very challenging. None of the climate modeling, I have seen has an easy answer,” he added. (ANI)
