This is a useful example of how economists’ mental model of climate change leads us astray.

The idea is that optimal climate policy is a carbon tax of ~$200/ton, and IRA is equivalent to a carbon tax around $10/ton, so we need 20x stronger policy.

That's wrong 🧵

Top panels: graphs showing increases in spillover events, extinction rates, and temperature anomalies over the last few centuries. Bottom panel: a map of 10 pandemics since the year 1900. Four were linked to agriculture, two to wildlife use, and one to climate change.

🌏💔Monetizing #RelationalValues (RVs) shows the challenge of monetizing deep connections to atoll islands. Despite skepticism, integrating monetary accounts of RVs into deliberative processes can enrich #climateAdaptation planning.

More interesting RVs papers in special issue @Ecosystems & People.
