Answer to Question 1

If one adopts a high economic discount rate, then damages that are incurred in the distant future are strongly downplayed. Because global warming is predicted to occur over a time span of several centuries, even a relatively small discount rate can cause future damages to have little effect on one's analysis.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
