For those who seek regulation based on zero #CO2 only, CO2 causes only ~46% of global warming and hardly impacts the 4-7 million people who die from air pollution each year. We need #100% renewable energy to help eliminate air pollution mortality and slow/reverse global warming

The Social Cost of Pollution (SCOP) is often 10x the Social Cost of Carbon (SCOC). SCOP impacts are immediate and local while SCOC is global and long term. Environmentalists leave much "money on the table" when they focus only on long-term GHG but ignore death and disease today.

Hi Bob and Marc. I’m doing some CO2 reduction calcs and want to add SCOC/P co-benefits. Do you know any current resources that can provide a reasonable and simple SCOC/P per tCO2e ratio? It’s not the focus of the study, so I need to keep it simple (for workload reasons).

See https://cedm.shinyapps.io/MarginalFactors/ … for estimates of marginal and average SCOC/P for various emissions from just electricity. No one seems to have good numbers for SCOP for heating fuel, but it is much higher than for electricity due to low chimneys and proximity to exposed population.
