The Problem of Many Hands: Climate Change as an Example
In some situations in which undesirable collective effects occur, it is very hard, if not impossible, to hold any individual reasonably responsible. Such a situation may be referred to as the problem of many hands. In this paper we investigate how the problem of many hands can best be understood and why, and when, it exactly constitutes a problem. After analyzing climate change as an example, w...
متن کاملIntegrating physical and social modelling - the example of climate change
Climate change brings into sharp relief the most difficult problems in addressing the interaction between science and policy. Instead of trying to solve an existing environmental problem one tries to prevent a problem that scientists expect to come. Results from model simulations have an unprecedented role in shaping the public debate. Forecasts of climate change and potential impacts are basic...

متن کاملEarth climate identification vs. anthropic global warming attribution
Based on numerical models and climate observations over past centuries, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes to human activity most of the warming observed since the mid-20th century. In this context, this paper presents the first major attempt for climate system identification – in the sense of the systems theory – in the hope to significantly reduce the uncertainty ...
