New paper out in Nature Climate Change today where we develop the first direct estimates of the social costs of hydrofluorocarbons (SC-HFCs) and the large climate benefits associated with global agreements that phase down their production and consumption https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01

Yesterday, the EPA finalized rules to reduce CH4 pollution from the oil and gas industry, and finalized updated estimates of the social cost of GHGs. The new value has a central estimate of $190 per ton CO2 in 2020, up from $50 using older models www.epa.gov/system/files...
