Reckless theories recommend giving up a sure thing, no matter how good, for an arbitrarily tiny chance enormous gain; timid permit passing large potential gain to prevent increase in risk; non-transitive deny principle that, if A is better than B and C, then be C.

Economic models of climate change often take the problem seriously, but paradoxically conclude that the optimal policy is to do almost nothing about it. We explore this paradox as seen in the widely used DICE model.
