Why do people help each other? In Iran, donors are Superfreakonomics, and there is Superfreakonomics waiting list. Rather than ascribe helping behaviour to selfless altruism, we need to look for the incentives driving that behaviour. No incentive, Superfreakonomics action. To change behaviour, you not only need incentives — but simple solutions. Complex solutions rarely work — because of the disincentive Superfreakonomics learn, acquire and master them. Simple solutions are also often the cheapest. Simple relatively low-cost solutions are usually Superfreakonomics best. Like Freakonomics, Superfreakonomics shows the power of looking at behaviour and behavioural data through the lens of incentives — economic, social and moral — to uncover rich insight.

The Superfreakonomics York Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide Superfreakonomics, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the Superfreakonomics. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return Superfreakonomics SuperFreakonomics, and Superfreakonomics and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Four year The New Superfreakonomics Times best-selling Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough Superfreakonomics, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary? SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, Superfreakonomics the hidden side of everything with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? Why are doctors Superfreakonomics bad Superfreakonomics washing their hands? How much good do car seats do? What's the best way to catch Superfreakonomics terrorist? Did TV cause a rise in crime? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and Superfreakonomics storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is — good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.

Keith∗ Draft: 8 May 2018 This paper introduces geoengineering into an optimal control model of climate change economics. Together with mitigation and adaptation, carbon and solar geoengineering span the universe of possible climate policies. Their wildly different characteristics have important implications for climate policy. We show in the context of our model that: (i) the optimal carbon tax equals the marginal cost of carbon geoengineering; (ii) the introduction of either form of geoengineering leads to higher emissions yet lower temperatures; (iii) in a world with above-optimal cumulative emissions, only a complete set of instruments can minimize climate damages.

Damon Matthews, Richard Millar, Armon Rezai, Susan Solomon, and Frank Venmans* Lemoine and Rudik 2017 argues that it is efficient to delay reduc- ing carbon emissions(, due )to supposed inertia in the climate system’s response to emissions. This conclusion rests upon misunderstand- ing the relevant earth system modeling: there is no substantial lag between CO2 emissions and warming. Applying a representation of the earth system that captures the range of responses seen in complex earth system models invalidates the original article’s implications for climate policy. The least-cost policy path that limits warming to 2°C implies that the carbon price starts high and increases at the interest rate.

The time has come for a fresh approach to nuclear power in the 21st century." The letter distributed over the weekend was signed by Ken Caldeira, senior scientist with the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution; Kerry Emanuel, atmospheric scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Tom Wigley, climate scientist, University of Adelaide in Australia and the National Center for Atmospheric Research; and James Hansen, climate scientist at Columbia University Earth Institute. Hansen is a controversial figure who left NASA to embrace a full-time climate activist role.

  • The Economic and Institutional Foundations of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change: the Political Economy of Roadmaps to a Sustainable Electricity Future
    THE ECONOMIC AND INSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF ROADMAPS TO A SUSTAINABLE ELECTRICITY FUTURE Mark Cooper Senior Fellow for Economic Analysis Institute for Energy and the Environment, Vermont Law School Adjunct Fellow, Silicon Flatirons, University of Colorado Abstract Three recent “roadmap” analyses outline routes to a low-carbon economy that model the decarbonization of the electricity sector and the pervasive electrification of the transportation and industrial sectors. Two of these also impose a pollution constraint on electricity resources that rejects the use of nuclear power and fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage. Using independent cost estimates and sequentially “relaxing” the constraints on resource selection, this paper compares the resource costs of the resulting portfolios of assets needed to meet the need for electricity. Reflecting the continuing decline of the cost of renewable resources, the paper supports the claim that the long run costs of the 100% renewable portfolios are not only less than business-as-usual portfolios, but that the “environmental merit order” of asset selection is quite close to the “economic merit order.” Neither fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage nor nuclear power enters the least-cost, low-carbon portfolio. As long as a rigorous least-cost constraint is imposed on decarbonization, the pollution constraint is superfluous. The paper evaluates the Paris Agreement on climate change in light of these findings. The Agreement is described as a progressive, mixed market economic model with a governance structure based on a polycentric, multi-stakeholder approach for management of a common pool resource.

We elicit judgements on natural science research priorities for solar geoengineering through a survey and in-person discussion with 72 subject matter experts, including two thirds of all scientists with ≥10 publications on the topic. Experts prioritized Earth system response (33%) and impacts on society and ecosystems (27%) over the human and social dimensions (17%) and developing or improving solar geoengineering methods (15%), with most allocating no effort to weather control or counter-geoengineering. While almost all funding to date has focused on geophysical modeling and social sciences, our experts recommended substantial funding for observations (26%), perturbative field experiments (16%), laboratory research (11%) and engineering for deployment (11%). Of the specific proposals, stratospheric aerosols received the highest average priority (34%) then marine cloud brightening (17%) and cirrus cloud thinning (10%).

    WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF KEN CALDEIRA, Ph.D. CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON HEARING ON The Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act: H.R. 4174 BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 5th, 2008 Thank you for inviting me to testify before the Committee on Science and Technology Subcommittee on Energy and Environment of the United States House of Representatives. I would be happy to provide more information on any of the issues discussed below. I am a scientist and a concerned citizen. I have been studying ocean chemistry and carbon cycle for over 20 years. I worked for a Department of Energy Laboratory for 12 years, and co-led the DOE center for research on ocean carbon sequestration. I led the writing of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chapter on ocean carbon storage. Recently, I acted in the capacity of the representative of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (a branch of the United Nations) to international negotiations held under the London Convention and London Protocol. I now work for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a non-profit organization dedicated to "investigation, research, and discovery [and] … the application of knowledge to the improvement of mankind...". Every time we drive a car, carbon dioxide gas comes out of the taxi tailpipe and goes right into the air. Within a year, that CO2 will travel throughout the atmosphere and impact the chemistry of the ocean surface everywhere – from Alaska to Florida, from Antarctica to the North Pole. That CO2 will stay in the oceans, changing ocean chemistry, for tens of thousands of years.

  • Superfreakonomics and Climate Change | 1
    SuperFreakonomics and Climate Change | 1 If you haven’t been following the controversy that has erupted with the publication of SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance, you should be. In SuperFreakonomics — the sequel to Steven Levitt and Stephen Duber’s wildly popular Freakonomics — the authors take on climate change. Their arguments are somewhat complex but essentially boil down to the following: the threats from global warming have been greatly exaggerated; we shouldn’t spend massive amounts of money reducing carbon emissions; and we should just geoengineer our way out of the problem. More specifically, their favored geoengineering solution is to imitate the effects of a massive volcanic blast — the most recent example of which is the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. Scientists have documented that the spewing of millions of tons of sulfur dioxide from a massive volcanic eruption into the atmosphere can have a temporary global cooling effect (Levitt and Duber conveniently fail to highlight that this cooling can also change weather patterns dramatically, induce massive reductions in global rainfall, make widespread droughts more likely and increase ocean acidificiation.) I won’t recount the many problems with the SuperFreakonomics arguments. Instead, you should read Elizabeth Kolbert’s scathing critique in the New Yorker here. A highlight from her review: Given their emphasis on cold, hard numbers, it’s noteworthy that Levitt and Dubner ignore what are, by now, whole libraries’ worth of data on global warming. Indeed, just about everything they have to say on the topic is, factually speaking, wrong. You should also read Real Climate’s An Open Letter to Steve Levitt — written by Levitt’s University of Chicago colleague climatologist Raymond Pierrehumberet — here.
