Uncertainties in Climate and Weather Extremes Increase the Cost of Carbon

Published:June 2020

Author(s):Cristian Proistosescu, Gernot Wagner

Publisher:Cell Press

Climate change has myriad physical and economic impacts. This study argues that uncertainties in climate and weather extremes only further increase the social cost of carbon emissions.Read More →
