Modelling by BAEconomics that has been used to attack Labor’s climate policies is a “complete outlier” according to an analysis of more than 20 other recent modelling exercises on the effect of higher climate targets on the economy and electricity sector.

| An Australia Institute analysis found higher climate targets had, at most, ‘a very small impact on GDP growth compared to no action’. |
The Australia Institute has published a review comparing the work of Brian Fisher with 19 other reports and three Treasury models that examined the potential effects of higher climate targets.
Ten of those reports examined the economy-wide effects of higher targets, while 12 looked at the impacts on the electricity sector, including five reports modelling 100% renewable energy.
Read the story from The Guardian by Lisa Cox - “Climate modelling used to attack Labor policies a 'complete outlier', analysis finds.”
