Not because it had been “wrong” before, but because it had been incomplete.🔗 Read more here: bit.ly/49NXSo4. @bbastien.bsky.social #ClimateChange

- The Social Cost of Carbon for the Oceans is out today in Nature Climate Change. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Until now, ocean damages have been largely missing from SCC estimates used in climate policy.
- We integrate ocean science + economics into a country-explicit IAM (RICE50+) to estimate the blue SCC — the welfare impacts of climate change on corals, mangroves, fisheries & mariculture, and ports.
- Solar radiation management looks most attractive precisely when governance is weakest — and that’s exactly when it’s most likely to fail. Check out our new paper in Environmental Research: Climate iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

- New paper out! We looked at how warming oceans & socioeconomic change shape the future of mangroves worldwide. @ioppublishing.bsky.social TLDR: Climate change could stall restoration efforts & deepen global inequalities. Paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

- Polycrisis isn’t a series of mistakes — it’s a tangled web of crises we navigate through increasingly rough terrain. In this study, we compile a global database and analyze the co-occurrence of shocks, the building blocks of crisis, from 1970 to today. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- Very happy to be an AERE Scholar this year! I'm looking forward to contributing meaningfully to the field.

- What a view of the Sandia mountains last week in Albuquerque. So happy to join the @aereorg.bsky.social scholars cohort, an amazing group of supportive and brilliant people!

- What an amazing week at the Beijer Institute, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences! Sharing ideas, methods and good moments with this talented group of scholars studying socioecological impacts.

Using 20 years of nationwide mortality microdata + wet-bulb temperature, we uncovered fascinating new findings. Thread 👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Very cool episode on the environmental effects of increased US exports of natural gas @danielraimi.bsky.social ! I would add the effect of the transportation itself. LNG tankers shipping US gas in the Gulf of California could severely disrupt marine ecosystems. open.spotify.com/episode/0W47...

- In an activity of naming ocean-based values that I've been doing for a while in some classes, the top words historically have been 'food' and 'recreation' 🌊 I was happy to see a new word emerging today: 'peace'. Naming what we value is the first step to including it in environmental policy

- Reposted by Bernie Bastien-OlveraExcited to announce a new @pnas.org publication on the Social Cost of Carbon. We integrate evidence from the literature and expert survey to provide an SCC distribution inclusive of both parametric and structural uncertainties. Our mean 2020 value is $283 per ton CO2 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

- So stoked about artists illustrating our recent paper on climate-driven ecosystem range shift and economic impacts. This is from Maria Fernanda Goldblatt 🤩
- We had a great conversation and can't wait to see it live. Thanks a lot!
- What unfolds when ecosystems shift across national borders due to climate change? Thrilled to share our latest paper in Nature, which delves into the consequences of these climate-driven biome migrations on human well-being. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
