E - A Negative SCC

It's important to recognize that all of the excerpted materials here come from the same 2014 report:

2014 ACCCE_The Social Costs of Carbon No Social Benefits

What that report basically does is quantify all of the economic benefits of today's society, attribute all of those benefits to CO2 emissions, and then calculate the $/ton benefit. That's one way to come up with a "negative" social cost of carbon, albeit having nothing to do with seriously looking at the potential economic costs of climate change going forward.
