The economic impact of global warming during the 1961-2010 and 1991-2010 periods. The value for each country is the estimated impact of global warming on country-level per capita GDP. Differences in the presence/absence of countries between the 1961-2010 and 1991-2010 periods reflect differences in the availability of country-level economic data. Differences in the magnitude of country-level values between the 1961-2010 and 1991-2010 periods reflect the influence of accumulation time on the net accumulated economic impact.
