      I think I've put together the perfect 1-2-3 combo of readings for teaching about climate economics (by which I mostly mean the logic of deciding how much to invest). These three readings convey the important concepts and give a lot to talk (and argue) about.

      The first is the "discounting and otters" piece from @drvox, which I like because it starts with the best explanation I've seen of discounting and why it is extremely relevant to climate change. David also makes an argument for the Stern point of view.https://grist.org/article/discount-rates-a-boring-thing-you-should-know-about-with-otters/ …

      This leads nicely into the Nordhaus critique of Stern. Nordhaus is writing for academics, so it is really challenging without a good primer on discounting concepts, but the @drvox piece does that job. http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/Nordhaus2007b.pdf …

      I would add: Nordhaus is a thoughtful guy and says a lot of smart things in this critique. If your only exposure to Nordhaus is "he argues for a too-low carbon price", you are missing a lot. Such as this passage on what is the right thing to optimize for:pic.twitter.com/5hY1Hmpmrj

      So we've talked about what discounting is, how it works, and "taught the Nordhaus/Stern controversy". Then I close with Thomas Schelling's "Intergenerational Discounting", which basically argues that discounting isn't the right way to view the problem: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0301421595901643 …

      Schelling, as always is full of interesting insights into the question:pic.twitter.com/wMCvNwHE8i

      Schelling basically concludes that spending on climate mitigation is not very much like investing (for which normal discounting logic applies) and far more like foreign aid or leaving an inheritance (for which there is no "formula" that tells you how much to spend).pic.twitter.com/I6WvJRB7X9

      Replying to @ElephantEating

      We should pay fair compensation for the damage our externalities will cause. In this context, the concepts of "investment" and "income transfer or redistribution" are completely irrelevant. We should compensate future generations because it is they who will be damaged.

          Replying to @bobwyman

          Yeah, I agree (and I think that is one hole of Schelling's argument - that he never brings up anything like guilt/reparations). But it, of course, doesn't change his point very much: if we are paying reparations, what is the right amount and what is the right form?
