Climate Uncertainty And Risk by Judith Curry
The book contends that substantial and persistent uncertainties in climate science—and limits in models, observations, and understanding of natural variability—complicate definitive projections and policy prescriptions; it argues for treating climate change as a risk-management problem that favors robust, flexible, and adaptive strategies (including resilience and targeted adaptation) over one-size-fits-all mitigation mandates, calls for clearer separation of scientific assessment from advocacy, and urges transparent communication of uncertainties and tail risks so decisionmakers can weigh tradeoffs and prepare for a range of plausible futures.
