Taking the literature as a whole, the global consequences of unmitigated climate change are likely to be substantial, unequal, harmful in aggregate, and potentially destabilizing, from Solomon Hsiang www.nber.org/papers/w34357

Deviations from moderate temperatures kill hundreds of thousands each year in the US and EU, with limited evidence on which interventions work to reduce these burdens, from Burke, Wilson, Avirmed, Wallstein, Martins, Behrer, Callahan, Childs, Choi, French, Gould... https://www.nber.org/papers/w34313

🆕 Why did air conditioning catch on so quickly in Mexico? Today on VoxDev, Lucas Davis (Haas) & Paul Gertler (UC Berkeley School of Public Health) discuss how falling electricity prices and rising energy efficiency led to increased air conditioning adoption in Mexico: https://ow.ly/elql50X5qLZ

Noise reduction benefits from EV adoption in the US estimated at $77.3 billion, concentrated among low-income families in urban areas www.nber.org/papers/w34298

Out today in JAERE! We measure water pollution released at India's industrial clusters. Does it hurt agriculture? Surprisingly: Not by much Come for how we published a paper of null results & with no regression tables Stay for new ways to proxy for crop yields & map hydrological relationships 🧵

Excellent coverage of our study out today on climate impacts on wildfire smoke and related health impacts.

We are excited to announce the release of the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas, an effort to map ongoing and future environmental hazards and their impacts on society, and to provide up to date evidence on what policies and interventions work to reduce impacts: adaptationatlas.org. Quick thread

All is not well at Elsevier richardtol.substack.com/p/fraud-and-...

DOE's embarrassment of a "climate science" report is 150 pages where as this response from the scientific community is 500. My take: It takes much more effort to refute nonsense than it does to generate it, a tax on the time of all who care about fact and accuracy sites.google.com/tamu.edu/doe...

Our reponse to that DOE report drive.google.com/file/d/1PwAR...

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

We at @stanforddoerr.bsky.social are excited to announce a new PhD program in Global Environmental Policy, accepting applications this fall for Sept 2026 start. We're looking for folks with interest in social sciences, data science, and enviro science and who have strong quant training 1/

Air conditioning adoption in Mexico has accelerated, significantly exceeding predictions, from Lucas W. Davis and Paul Gertler https://www.nber.org/papers/w34101

Cool example of retrospective model evaluation in economics - AC penetration in Mexico rose faster than predicted 12 years ago. Important to account for evolving technologies, as well as incomes and temperature. Prediction is hard, particularly about the future! www.nber.org/papers/w3410...

New article out on European Economic Review! "Warning words in a warming world: Central bank communication and climate change", with @jdeyris.bsky.social, @davideromelli.bsky.social and G. Scalisi. Available open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.eu... Speech dataset here: cbspeeches.com

Global emissions from heating are about 4x those from cooling. Air conditioning is an important and lifesaving adaptation to climate change. Decarbonize the grid.

Very pleased that our local projections dif-in-dif paper is now out in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. Joint with @dgirardi.bsky.social, Jorda, and Taylor. It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have). 🧵

I always find survey results like this staggering (almost to the point of unbelievability). The US was spending around 1% of its federal budget on foreign aid. The average guess among 1,000+ surveyed Americans was 26%. 15% thought it was over half of the budget (?!) www.kff.org/global-healt...

We study how trade policy can reduce global emissions. Unilateral carbon border taxes have limited efficacy at cutting foreign emissions. By contrast, coordinated trade penalties under a climate club prove highly effective. buff.ly/NEE3Uy8

Climate change supercharged last week’s European heat wave and tripled the death toll, a group of scientists said today.

Congratulations to Environmental Research: Climate @iopp-environment.bsky.social on receiving its first Impact Factor of 5.4! ERCL is non-profit, open access and has no article charges through 2025. Consider for your interdisciplinary climate research! iopscience.iop.org/journal/2752...

Air conditioning is an absolutely vital life-saving technology on a swiftly-warming planet, and people who claim it's somehow more shameful to cool a home than it is to heat one are idiots. I wrote this a few years ago and still stand by it: foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/16/c...

after 6 months as a co-editor of an enviro econ journal, one of the most surprising things I’ve learned is that editors see a report of how many times authors check their manuscript’s status on editorial manager and, y’all… #econsky

We did not want to start the week like this, but here we are. Yet again our chair’s inbox is filled with messages from replicators who have opened “replication” folders only to find names, Social Insurance Numbers, mental-health diagnoses and incomes of study participants. 🧵

Extreme weather events are significantly impacting the US macroeconomy with long-lasting effects, say researchers at Indiana University and @richmondfed.bsky.social. The impacts have grown stronger over time, suggesting limited adaptation to climate change. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/sev...

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.
