Robust Strategies for Abating Climate Change

چکیده
People are of two minds about uncertainty. On the one hand we crave predictions about the future. Virtually every newspaper, magazine, and trade publication has articles predicting some aspect of the future and many people make good livings foretelling what the future will bring. The quest for prediction probably fills some deep human need. Even though the accuracy of most predictions has proven to be poor (Sherden 1998), the future becomes less scary once given a name and a shape.

In this study, we construct a large uncertainty space that includes the...
