Bionic Planet podcast: In Putting A Price On Carbon, What We Don’t Know Could Kill Us
Ecosystem Marketplace Bionic Planet podcast, Part 2
Second part of a discussion with Ecosystem Marketplace publisher Steve Zwick no the Bionic Planet podcast.

Scientists currently estimate damages based only on what they know for sure, but the scary stuff is in what they don’t know, says Gernot Wagner, co-author of the book “Climate Shock: The Economic Consequences of a Hotter Planet.”
