The social cost of carbon—the cost to society of an additional ton of CO2 emissions—is a crucial measure of the desirable intensity of climate policy. The models economists use to calculate it, however, are highly sensitive to the choice of discount rate, which measures our concern for the well-being of future generations. Different economists favor different values, and this leads to radically different policy prescriptions. We present a method for combining a diverse set of discount rates into a single "representative" rate and apply it to the analysis of the social cost of carbon performed by the US government. This approach may help resolve ethical conflicts and, hence, lead to consensus policy recommendations.

In this article I shall examine how Poppy uses her extreme grotesque effect to construct visual, audial and lyrical narratives of empowerment – in gender, personal, and musical context. I shall shed a light on the way her self-awareness as a female vocalist deconstructs the image of 'metal woman' – through subversive combination of hyperfeminine image with aggressive music and involved lyrics – to expose excluding paradigms which determine female presence in metal. Finally, I shall show how her post-genre aesthetics undermines hardened determinants of what is, and what is not 'metal'.

Abstract
In this note, we extend Aumann's agreement theorem to a framework where beliefs are modelled by conditional probability systems à la Battigalli, P., and M. Siniscalchi. 1999. "Hierarchies of Conditional Beliefs and Interactive Epistemology in Dynamic Games." Journal of Economic Theory 88: 188–230. We prove two independent generalizations of the agreement theorem, one where the agents share some common conditioning event, and one where they may not.
