Guardian: Just over a week ago Typhoon Haiyan smashed into the Philippines. Thought to be the strongest storm ever to make landfall, Haiyan's sustained 235kph winds brought devastation. More than 2,000 are known to have lost their lives and hundreds of thousands are homeless. Meanwhile, Haiyan has brought environmental disaster too. Millions of uprooted trees will bump up global warming, by adding carbon to the atmosphere. It is too early to say how much carbon, but calculations for previous tropical cyclones...

Mongabay: At first glance, a recent report from the U.S. White House on the social cost of carbon reads like a daunting economics exam. A small chart poses the first question about the price tag policymakers attach to future greenhouse gas emissions: Does each metric ton of carbon that billows into the air cost $11, $33 or $52? The answer is all of the above. But researchers working at the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, D.C. suggest that this confusing point may be moot--at least for energy...
