The George C. Marshall Institute will host a discussion of the Social Cost of Carbon, which is a tool used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to calculate the benefits of carbon dioxide reductions and thereby justify new regulations limiting fossil fuel use.

The Institute has assembled a panel to discuss the SCC, how it is derived, and its limitations. Panelists include:

  • Dr. Patrick Michaels, Director of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute
  • Dr. David Kreutzer, Senior Policy Analyst in Energy Economics and Climate Change at The Heritage Foundation
  • Dr. Roger Bezdek, President, Management Information Services
