Description (excerpt):

This paper argues that the quantitative estimates of the social cost of carbon (SCC) are extremely significant. The Working Group document itself states that the purpose of the SCC estimates “is to allow agencies to incorporate the social benefits of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into cost-benefit analyses of regulatory actions that impact cumulative global emissions.”
