Trump Downplayed the Costs of Carbon Pollution. That's About to Change.
An article in Science lauds RFF's work on the social cost of carbon.
"Previously, each [integrated assessment model] relied on a simplistic climate simulation, written by an economist, in which the globe tended to warm more slowly, for the same emissions, than in more realistic climate models. Now, the IAMs can be linked to models created by climate scientists, which better match current science.
Meanwhile, Resources for the Future, an environmental think tank that has effectively served as an IWG-in-exile, has sponsored work to improve the base economic projections used by IAMs."
