In November 2013, the Obama Administration released an updated estimated social cost of carbon that raised the cost per metric ton used in federal regulatory analyses from $21 to $35. On behalf of the Environment, Economics and Society Institute, Synapse submitted comments to OMB with a brief critique of the Administration's methodology, focusing on problems that would result in underestimation.
