Pretty bad
And what we don’t know is even worse
Social Cost of Carbon (SCC)
Technically, the Social Cost of Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO₂), and the social cost of other greenhouse gases such as methane (SC-CH₄, or SCM) or nitrous oxide (SC-N₂O, or SCN).

How bad can it be?
We’ve learned quite a bit since the last IPCC report, and the news isn’t exactly good
Daily Climate Damage Should Feel More Like a Disaster
One-off events like Deepwater Horizon leave a lasting impression, but the normal burning of fossil fuels has an even worse impact.

Costly tipping points
New research shows significant economic costs of climate risks.
Economics Needs a Climate Revolution
With its fixation on equilibrium thinking and an exclusive focus on market factors that can be precisely measured, the neoclassical orthodoxy in economics is fundamentally unequipped to deal with today's biggest problems. Change within the discipline is underway, but it cannot come fast enough.
The Climate Tipping Point We Want
The green transition comes with costs; but they are well worth it, and they pale in comparison to the costs of inaction. The ever-falling costs of renewables have not eliminated the politics of climate change. But they certainly have made our choices much easier.
Recalculate the social cost of carbon
The science is ripe to update estimates of CO2 emissions costs. Calls to scrap the calculation are misguided.
