Michael
I'm writing to share a new Heritage report on the Social Cost of Carbon that may be helpful and relevant to President Trump's Executive Order "Unleashing American Energy". The order, as I am sure you are aware, directs the EPA to review the Social Cost of Carbon for harmful and detrimental inadequacies.
The Heritage Center on Data Analytics reviewed the EPA Greenhouse Gas Impact Value Estimator (GIVE) model for the Social Cost of Carbon and found the model was extremely sensitive to manipulation and found the GIVE model fails sensitivity testing.
Could you please recommend to me who from the Administrator's team is the best to share this with?
The full report can be found on our website: https://www.heritage.org/climate/report/calculating-the-social-costcarbon-the-give-model-epa-model-not-ready-prime-time
Thank you and please let me know if we can be helpful! Josh
