The Dice module by William Nordhaus and Paul Romer. This is an economic model that takes different levels of allowed greenhouse gas emissions and shows ways to achieve these levels through things like carbon taxes. It incorporates data used by scientists that predict different outcomes of different emissions levels and then applies them to the economics of the world and how it can be achieved with the least amount of negative impact to the global economy. Others have described it as a tool that “integrates in an end-to-end fashion the economics, carbon cycle, climate science, and impacts in a highly aggregated model that allows a weighing of the costs and benefits of taking steps to slow greenhouse warming.”

The world bank website. This website has resources about emissions throughout the world. It lists specific countries and their contributions to global emissions. They have lots of different data sets and it allows you to plot data between specific countries. They also offer many different links to academic journals.

A report called the State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2018. This is a phenomenal report done by the world bank group. This journal takes a look at different carbon pricing policies throughout the world and the impacts they are having. The information is very informative and provides lots of quality data.

This is an article that analyzes the differences between a cap and trade system and a carbon tax. It lists what they see as pros and cons to each. It seems pretty neutral and fair. A good source when trying to learn about each.

This is a link to an academic journal. It is called Deaths and Death Rates from Extreme Weather Events: 1900-2008. It is by Indur Goklany. He gives a bunch of information about the prevalence of extreme weather events since 1900-2008. He then also shows how many deaths occurred by extreme weather events from 1900-2008. There is lots of good data in this journal as well as graphs that help break down the information. https://www.jpands.org/vol14no4/goklany.pdf

NASA offers lots of factual and informative information. There site includes current stats on rates of emissions levels, global temperatures, size of ice sheets, and many others. All of their data is extremely up to date.
