Johnston, David W.; Knott, Rachel; Mendolia, Silvia - 2022
Many people remain opposed to climate change mitigation policies. This opposition is an obstacle to policy action and, therefore, important to understand. We explore how unusually high temperatures (heat waves), which observably increase the salience of climate change-related issues, affect...

Using a new composite climate-risk index, we show that population in high-risk counties has grown disproportionately … largely driven by increases in the (white) working-age population. In addition, we show that high-risk tracts have typically … grown more than low-risk tracts within the same county, suggesting the presence of highly localized amenities in high-risk …

Population Growth and Carbon Emissions
Casey, Gregory P. - 2016
We provide evidence that lower fertility can simultaneously increase income per capita and lower carbon emissions, eliminating a trade-off central to most policies aimed at slowing global climate change. We estimate the effect of lower fertility on carbon emissions accounting for the fact that...

Buchs, Milena - 2014
Does the association between household characteristics and household CO2 emissions differ for different areas such as home energy, transport, indirect and total emissions in the UK? Specific types of households might be more likely to have high emissions in some areas than in others and thus be...
