Clear thinking about economics of climate change

MIT Climate Portal

Excellent set of 5 brief and lucid articles (by environmental economist Frank Ackerman) on several key aspects of public discussion about policy and the costs, and benefits and appropriate ways (or not) of thinking about climate challenges:

1: On Buying Insurance and Ignoring Cost-Benefit Analysis

2: Climate Damages, Uncertain but Ominous, or $51 per Ton?

3: Methane Measurements and Short Attention Spans

4: Prices Are Not Enough

5: Inequality, Sunk Costs, and Climate Policy
