Indur Goklany Releases New Report on Economics, Equity and Climate Change

The Cato Institute today released a new Indur Goklany report, “What To Do about Climate Change.”

The study demonstrates that for the foreseeable future, human and environmental well-being will be highest under the "richest-but-warmest" scenario and lower for the poorer (lower-carbon) scenarios.
