Well, let me think, is this an exaggeration?
I don't recall any numbers over a trillion. And you know, we spent $3T fighting a war that we forgot to tell the military what victory looked like, so, after two decades, we tucked our tails between our legs and limped home. How many people died then?
$100T? I doubt it
$1T. Maybe, we gave way 3 times that much in COVID relief.
How many lives may die if Climate Change is real and we don't fight it?
In case you missed it, that post was labeled sarcasm.

Let's jog the memory:
"The McKinsey report puts it bluntly. To achieve net zero emissions by 2050 would require substantial capital allocation by governments and the private sector to transform the global economy – approximately US$9.2 trillion in
annual spending on physical assets in energy and land use systems over the next 28 years. The net zero scenario has been estimated to cost around 7.5 per cent of global gross domestic product, while the increase in spending required over current levels works out to around half of all corporate profits and one-quarter of all tax revenues in 2020!"
Let's see: 9.2 T x 28 years =257.6 TRILLION. I guess I underestimated. "Nothing over 1 trillion" is simply delusional
