We have a new paper from a multi-year, multi-disciplinary effort lead by @PrincetonSPIA, @UCBerkeley, and @rff out in @Nature that estimates the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) as $185, more than 3x larger than current U.S. federal estimate.

@SharonSalzberg Don’t cling.

@Capi_Planeta @ICAyCC_UNAM Yewww! Many congrats Bernie!!!

The intuition behind this: an extra $ contributes less to your wellbeing as you get richer. Income (or equity) weighting captures this by placing greater weight on climate impacts affecting the poor. Since these impacts & global incomes are highly unequal, we get a higher SC-CO2.

[Frank Errickson @F_Errickson]

We have a paper out in @ScienceMagazine today showing how new guidelines allowing for income weighting in federal cost-benefit analysis would affect the social cost of carbon. Main takeaway, the SC-CO2 increases nearly 8x to ~$1300/ton. @rff @ERGBerkeley

@a_peterman Advisor gave this to me my first year. It’s a short, simple, + entertaining read.

How can justice considerations be more fully incorporated into climate scenarios? See our new publication on a novel framework enabling a more holistic and multidimensional investigation of justice - https://t.co/kVvowsajuY

Really cool/creative science linking octopus (octopi?) genetics and evidence of a past collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

@PhD_Genie stoopid.

What unfolds when ecosystems shift across national borders due to climate change?

Thrilled to share our latest paper in @nature, which delves into the consequences of these climate-driven biome migrations on human well-being.

@bprest & @kevinrennert for the win!

[Resources for the Future @rff]

It's official! 📢📈

This weekend, @EPA unveiled its updated social cost of carbon estimate of $190, the same as it proposed last year.

Check out this @ResourcesMag blog post by @bprest and @kevinrennert on the estimate and why it's a big deal! 👇
