I love all of these, though I'm not sure I'd use any of them if I were just introducing someone to causal methods. Here are a few I find myself recommending a lot:

Folks are asking for resources for learning about causal inference.
Here is a comprehensive reading list since no one address all issues —
What is causality?
When is a causal relationship is knowable?
How to infer causal relationships given from noisy and limited data?

A few days ago, we published an article in Science. Time for a short post about it.

We tried to contribute to an important debate: How well are we actually reducing our carbon emissions?

🆕Evaluation of #climatepolicy over 2 decades: A global PIK study of 1,500 #climatepolicies, published in the journal Science, shows most failed to cut emissions. Only 63 cases saw a 19% average reduction. The key? Tax & price incentives in smart policies.
