According to Tol "the impact of climate change is relatively small".[4] He was also among the US Senate Republican Party's "list of scientists disputing man-made global warming claims", which stated that Tol "dismissed the idea that mankind must act now to prevent catastrophic global warming".[5]

Tol characterises his position as arguing that the economic costs of climate policy should be kept in proportion to its benefits

He argues against the 2 °C 'guardrail' target for limiting temperature rises.[9] Tol does not advocate another target, but has recommended a carbon tax of $5/tC.[10] He acknowledges that this level of taxation is too low to significantly discourage fossil fuel use but argues it would help to stimulate the development of fuel-saving technology and improve the competitiveness of renewable energy sources
