2020 mortality cost of carbon (MCC).

	Low mortality estimate (<10th percentile)	Central mortality estimate	High mortality estimate (>90th percentile)
Baseline emissions scenario (4.1 °C warming by 2100)	−1.71 × 10−4	2.26  × 10−4	6.78 × 10−4
Optimal emissions scenario (2.4 °C warming by 2100)	−2.16 × 10−4	1.07 × 10−4	5.22 × 10−4

DICE-EMR projects that an additional metric ton of carbon dioxide emitted in 2020 causes 2.26 × 10⁻⁴ excess deaths from 2020 to 2100 in the central estimate in the baseline emissions scenario and 1.07 × 10⁻⁴ excess deaths in the central estimate in the optimal emissions scenario.
