Excited to announce a new @pnas.org publication on the Social Cost of Carbon. We integrate evidence from the literature and expert survey to provide an SCC distribution inclusive of both parametric and structural uncertainties. Our mean 2020 value is $283 per ton CO2

Cool RCT on air purifiers -> test scores in China. Air purifiers on day of test improved scores by 0.1sd! Reduction in indoor PM2.5 from purifiers was ~20ug in their setting. So, effect would prob be smaller at avg US PM levels, but maybe larger on wildfire smoke day. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
