An additional tonne changes eventual temperature by approximately δT=κ. Linearizing the damage function gives δL(t′)=κγD0W(t′)T(t′)γ−1. Put s=t′−t, W(t+s)=W(t)egs, and hold T approximately fixed across the effective discount horizon. The discounted integral is
If r≤g, this infinite-horizon approximation diverges; a finite result then needs different growth, damages or discounting assumptions. It also treats the marginal warming from the extra tonneas effectively persistent over the relevant horizon.
