What Is the Real Social Cost of Carbon? Part 2

What Is the Real Social Cost of Carbon? Part 2

Let’s put a price tag on the true cost of carbon pollution. We know that too much CO2 harms the planet but how do scientists and economists actually calculate the cost of all that damage? We put together a quick look into the social cost of carbon and explain why it is drastically underestimated.

Carbon 101: IPCC Boiled Down

Carbon 101: IPCC Boiled Down

Climate scientists and policy makers frequently reference CO2 ppm and 2°C when they talk about climate change. What does it mean?!

Check it out!

Given the stance of the current occupant of the White House on climate policies, it’s fair to say that the recent outlook for the environment has been bleak. However, every action (or inaction) has a reaction. In the post-Trump era, we’ve already been witness to inspiring solidarity and unity amongst states, cities and companies that have chosen to fully reject the science-denial narrative coming from the executive branch, and move forward with bold, effective climate action.
