Predicting future uncertainty constraints on global warming projections
Projections of global mean temperature changes (ΔT) in the future are associated with intrinsic uncertainties. Much climate policy discourse has been guided by "current knowledge" of the ΔTs uncertainty, ignoring the likely future reductions of the uncertainty, because a mechanism for predicting these reductions is lacking. By using simulations of Global Climate Models from the Coupled Model In...
متن کاملWhen the Future Decides Uncertainty and Intentional Action
Young Beti women in Cameroon regularly assert that because they are uncertain about what the future will bring, they cannot make any plans. But they do plan, strategize, and indeed act quite effectively. The purpose of this paper is to explain how they do so, specifically in reference to marriage and reproduction, and thereby to contribute to a general understanding of intentionality, uncertain...
متن کاملBlocking Requires Uncertainty about Novel Cues
Blocking is a well-studied learning phenomenon in which previous learning inhibits subsequent learning about novel cues. Existing models provide different explanations for blocking and predict different beliefs about novel cues early in the second phase of blocking. Two experiments examined learners’ beliefs when first encountering novel cues. The results suggest that the introduction of the no...
متن کاملPredicting future motion.
Predicting the future course of a moving target is invaluable for planning actions. We used trajectory detection in noise to investigate this predictive capability. Using a contrast probe technique, we showed that in noise, contrast increments are more easily seen at the end of the trajectory than at the beginning. Analyses of the contrast data revealed that the improvement at the end of the tr...
متن کاملPredicting Future Cardiovascular Disease
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS — We randomly selected 2,662 MexicanAmericans and 1,595 non-Hispanic whites, 25–64 years of age, who were free of both CVD and known diabetes at baseline from several San Antonio census tracts. Medical history, cigarette smoking history, BMI, blood pressure, fasting and 2-h plasma glucose and serum insulin levels, triglyceride level, and fasting serum total, LDL, and...
