Is climate change a science problem, an economics problem, a moral problem, or something else?: Nordhaus economics
The most consequential number Nordhaus shared the 2018 Nobel for work he had been doing since the 1970s: integrating climate science with growth to calculate the optimal cost of decarbonization. His central finding: the most important variable is not the temperature target.... Is climate change a science problem, an economics problem, a moral problem, or something else?: Scientific consensus
Thirty-six years of confirmed predictions In 1988, James Hansen testified before the Senate that human-caused warming had begun. He presented three scenarios.... Is climate change a science problem, an economics problem, a moral problem, or something else?: The Story
