So Dr. Kinn welcome back to the show. It's a pleasure to have you on. Thank you. Uh okay so last time we touched a little bit on this topic, but I would like to explore it with you today a little bit more.
So when it comes to uh climate change What are the most probable economic consequences that can derive from it? I mean, and of course, if you want to talk about the risks associated with climate change that are not exclusively economic, please feel free to do so. But what would you say about that? Well, in a simple line, it's the extinction of humanity.
