What is a common criticism of Richard Tol's work?
A frequent critique is that my focus on the costs and benefits of climate action, and my use of standard discount rates, might underestimate the urgency of the problem. Some argue that my analyses are too conservative and do not fully capture the catastrophic risks or the ethical imperatives for immediate, drastic action, especially when dealing with low-probability, high-impact events.
