Accurately interpreting IPCC assessments—Response

Abstract

Blok et al. characterize our Policy Forum as an indictment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC’s) estimates of mitigation costs, but that was not our intention. We agree with Blok et al.’s call to continually update the economics-focused integrated assessment models. This action, along with more cross-validation between bottom-up and top-down approaches, is precisely the goal of the piece.
