Abstract

Global climate changes attract interest from representatives of various scientific disciplines, including economists, which is manifested, among others, by a significant number of published studies on the subject. Due to the fact that these changes are a complex, multidimensional challenge, their study requires interdisciplinarity, and this in turn triggers additional cognitive and methodological difficulties. In this way, there are revealed complex errors made in economics, in studies of global climate change. The article presents eight of their selected forms, namely: (1) inadequate information flow between disciplines investigating this phenomenon, especially between natural sciences and social sciences, (2) limiting research to the presentation of views and discussions of other authors, (3) disregarding data describing the actual course of global warming, as well as its causes and consequences, (4) using inadequate research methods and methodologies, (5) abusing idealisational formal and economic models, (6) studying the phenomenon of global climate changes based on “statically retouched” data, (7) inappropriate temporal perspective of conducted research, (8) lack of pragmatism in formulated solutions, conclusions and recommendations.
