Why is climate sensitivity so unpredictable
Gerard H. Roe,Marcia B. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the breadth of the distribution and, in particular, the probability of large temperature increases are relatively insensitive to decreases in uncertainties associated with the underlying climate processes.

Estimates of the Social Cost of Carbon: Concepts and Results from the DICE-2013R Model and Alternative Approaches
TL;DR: The social cost of carbon (SCC) is an important concept for understanding and implementing climate change policies as mentioned in this paper, which represents the economic cost caused by an additional ton of carbon dioxide emissions or its equivalent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition to Clean Technology
TL;DR: The authors developed an endogenous growth model in which clean and dirty technologies compete in production, and characterized the optimal policy path that heavily relies on both subsidies and taxes, and evaluated various alternative policies.

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Marginal Emissions: Implications for Electric Cars and Other Electricity-Shifting Policies
Joshua Graff Zivin,Joshua Graff Zivin,Matthew J. Kotchen,Matthew J. Kotchen,Erin T. Mansur,Erin T. Mansur +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology for estimating marginal emissions of electricity demand that vary by location and time of day across the United States, taking account of the generation mix within interconnected electricity markets and shifting load profiles throughout the day.

Some Contributions of Integrated Assessment Models of Global Climate Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of integrated assessment models (IAMs) in climate policy and research at the global scale is reviewed and two different types of IAMs are discussed.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis
Susan Solomon,Dahe Qin,Martin R. Manning,Melinda Marquis,Kristen Averyt,Melinda M.B. Tignor,H. L. Miller,Z. Chen +7 more
TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review
TL;DR: The Stern Review as discussed by the authors is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue, conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank.

The Economics of Climate Change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an appropriate way to examine the economics of climate change, given the unique scientific and economic challenges posed, and suggest implications for emissions targets, policy instruments, and global action.
