Uncertainty and Climate Change Policy
Uncertainty is a pervasive feature of climate change analysis. This paper explores the consequences for policymakers. Importantly, uncertainty means that every policy has a range of possible outcomes rather than a single estimate. At a minimum, this requires policymakers to decide how to compare these different outcomes and to determine the likelihood that each outcome occurs. While objective a...
متن کاملUncertainty and Climate Change Policy
layer over the South Pole in the late 1970s went undetected for years. The satellite instrumentation did not fail; rather, the computer programs written to analyze the vast volumes of satellite data were instructed to reject measurements that diverged sharply from expected normal conditions. Amazingly, the rejected values were called to no one’s attention. Noticing outliers in ground-based reco...
متن کاملValuing Climate Change Uncertainty Reductions for Robust Energy Portfolios**
* Corresponding author. ** The research presented in this paper was financially supported by the EC-funded project GEOBENE (http://www.geo-bene.eu/). Abstract – Climate policy uncertainty has decisive influence on energy sector strategies. Potential stranded climate-energy investments may be enormous. Remote sensing can improve our understanding of the climate system and thus better inform clim...
متن کاملEditorial: Climate Change and Marine Top Predators
Climate is one of the main structuring forces in natural ecosystems (Richardson and Schoeman, 2004), and anthropogenic climate change is regarded as an important driver of changes in the range and abundance of species as well as community composition, not least in marine ecosystems (Poloczanska et al., 2013). There are two overall mechanisms by which climate change can affect range and abundanc...
متن کاملEditorial—Global Climate Change and Contaminants
This Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health focuses on the inter-linkage between the global distribution of contaminants and climate change. The climate has always changed, but now the international scientific community expects that anthropogenic-induced climatic change will lead many places to experience weather and environments that are warmer a...
