Nordhaus Climate Model

The Nordhaus Climate Model is an economic tool that estimates how greenhouse gas emissions impact global warming and the resulting economic costs over time. It combines climate science with economic analysis to evaluate policies, like carbon taxes, aimed at reducing emissions. The model predicts future temperature changes and assesses the trade-offs between the costs of reducing emissions and the damages caused by climate change, helping policymakers make informed decisions to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability.
