    • Implementation of a Cloud Radiative Adjustment Method to Change the Climate Sensitivity of CAM3 

      Sokolov, Andrei P.; Monier, Erwan (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2011-08)
      Conducting probabilistic climate projections with a particular climate model requires the ability to vary the model’s characteristics, such as its climate sensitivity. In this study, we implement and validate a method to ...

    • Global Aerosol Health Impacts: Quantifying Uncertainties 

      Selin, Noelle E.; Paltsev, Sergey; Wang, Chien; Donkelaar, A. van; Martin, R.V. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2011-08)
      Atmospheric fine particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) can cause cardiovasculatory and respiratory damages and mortalities. Assessing population exposure to and damages from PM2.5 is important for policy, but measurement ...

    • Distributional Impacts of Carbon Pricing: A General Equilibrium Approach with Micro-Data for Households 

      Rausch, Sebastian; Metcalf, Gilbert E.; Reilly, John M. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2011-07)
      Many policies to limit greenhouse gas emissions have at their core efforts to put a price on carbon emissions. Carbon pricing impacts households both by raising the cost of carbon intensive products and by changing factor ...
