Reviews
'Riccardo Rebonato has done it again! Notwithstanding its humble title, his latest book is filled with rich insights from the interface of economics and climate science, for both the concerned citizen and the seasoned expert. It's all there: the economics and the climate science, the facts and the models, the costs and the benefits. Rebonato offers uniquely-informed economic insights on mitigation, adaptation, new technologies, and open questions.' Francis X. Diebold, Professor of Economics, Finance and Statistics, University of Pennsylvania

Synopsis
Caught in the crossfire between climate deniers and catastrophists, the intelligent layperson is understandably bewildered when faced with the complexity of climate change. How To Think About Climate Change shows that economics provides not just a suitable, but an indispensable perspective to understand the root causes of the climate-change problem: scarcity of resources, externalities and free riding. Riccardo Rebonato argues that there are no silver bullets or easy solutions. However, he shows that the new-generation economics models offer a radically different insight about our best course of action from what most early models recommended - in particular, they suggest that fast and large-scale climate action can now be justified as the most cost-effective strategy without requiring the 'infinite altruism' of earlier models. Given the conceptual tools provided in this book, readers can decide whether they agree with these conclusions - and, if they do, what the most effective courses of action are., Intelligent laypersons are bewildered when faced with the complexity of climate change. Economics can give them a powerful tool to think clearly about the problem and to make up their own mind. The new-generation economics models are painting a radically different and exciting picture of the best course of climate action.
