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 (?!)

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 tripled recent heat deaths in Europe, scientists say Global warming caused an additional 1,500 deaths in 12 cities during last week’s heat wave, an analysis found.

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!

Climate Change Demands More Air Conditioning An often-disparaged technology is a lifesaver, not a luxury.

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:

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

🚨 New working paper: War, Propaganda, and Russian Fatalities in Ukraine

@ifomichev.bsky.social and I study how Russian fatalities in the Russia–Ukraine war affect engagement with propaganda on social media in soldiers’ hometowns. Here's what we find 🧵

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. 🧵

Climate shocks and the economy Is the US economy adapting to more severe weather patterns?

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...

Trump seeks to end climate research at premier U.S. climate agency White House aims to end NOAA’s research office; NASA also targeted

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.

Research bleg: what are your favorite papers that provide plausibly causal evidence on interventions that reduce the impact of extreme temperatures on health? Incl interventions with no explicit climate purpose but that help w extreme temps. Posts to your own work encouraged!

@ctraeger.bsky.social & I have a chapter in the new Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change (Eds: Lint Barrage & Sol Hsiang, Elsevier)!

We synthesize insights from 2+ decades of research on how uncertainty shapes optimal climate policies and affects the SCC. Our main takeaways:

If you're a professor, you have a LOT of power. Not to freak you out, but authoritarian regimes' favorite first move is to shut down the intellectuals in one way or another. Which means you're a threat to them.

Use your power. Speak out. Go on TV. Give interviews. Be loud!
