The circles in Figure 2 represent projected annual economic damages in 2090 in the U.S. by sector in 2015 dollars assuming a 5 C temperature rise (RCP 3F 48.5/5 C) scenario; lighter areas signify damages avoided under a 2.5 C (RCP4.5/2.5 C) scenario indicating the significant economic expense that can be prevented by limiting the temperature rise.
