Not sure which economic impact you mean when the ultimate economic impact of climate catastrophe will be the complete destruction of the global economy.

This is not hyperbole. If nothing changes that's a completely realistic outcome within 50 - 100 years.

Saying the global economy will be completely destroyed within 100 years does indeed sound hyperbolic, uninformed, alarmist, FWIW.
