More carbon emissions will kill more people; here’s how many

Leave a Comment / Blog, News / By

(Earth Institute at Columbia University) A just-published study coins a new metric: the “mortality cost of carbon.” That is, how many future lives will be lost–or saved–depending on whether we increase or decrease our current carbon emissions. If the numbers hold up, they are quite high. ​(Earth Institute at Columbia University) A just-published study coins …
