Uncertainties in Climate and Weather Extremes Increase the Cost of Carbon

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Climate change has myriad physical and economic impacts. Even those that can be easily quantified indicate the need for ambitious climate action. Other climate impacts have yet to be quantified. We argue here that uncertainties in climate and weather extremes only further increase the social cost of carbon emissions.
