Inย Climate Uncertainty and Risk, eminent climate scientist Judith Curry shows how we can break this gridlock. This book helps us rethink the climate change problem, the risks we are facing and how we can respond to these challenges. Understanding the deep uncertainty surrounding the climate change problem helps us to better assess the risks. This book shows how uncertainty and disagreement can be part of the decision-making process. It provides a road map for formulating pragmatic solutions.ย Climate Uncertainty and Riskย is essential reading for those concerned about the environment, professionals dealing with climate change and our national leaders.

Review

โ€œJudith A. Curry is one of the worldโ€™s leading scholars of climate change and a deep thinker about how science copes with uncertainty. In this refreshing and comprehensive book, she shows with meticulous care and great clarity that exaggerated claims about climate change made for political purposes are wide of the mark. Instead, she shows the way to a rational and practical discussion of this polarized topic.โ€โ€•Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist and How Innovation Works.

โ€œWith climate models running too hot by a factor of 2 for 30 years, with everything that used to be called a weather event now a portent of climate change, and with billions being invested against this as opposed to other more pressing world needs, Judith A. Curry provides us with a much-needed and convincing rethink.โ€โ€•Michael Kelly, Emeritus Prince Philip Professor of Technology, University of Cambridge, UK.

โ€œJudith A. Curry leverages her background in climate science, weather forecasting, and devising risk management strategies to present the climate policy debate we have never had. Her balanced, evidence-based, and multifaceted discussion leaves the reader โ€˜better informed as to the uncertainties and the various values in playโ€™ in designing climate policy.โ€โ€•Peter Hartley, George A. Peterkin Professor of Economics, Rice University, USA; MEECON Co-Director.

Judith Curryโ€™s book Climate Uncertainty and Risk aims to provide a framework for understanding the climate change โ€˜debateโ€™. She argues that the climate change problem and its solution have been oversimplified; that understanding uncertainty can help in better assessing the risks; and that uncertainty and disagreement can be part of the decision-making process.  Curryโ€™s book is divided into three parts. The first describes the climate change challenge. The second relates to the uncertainty of 21st century climate change, noting her emphasis on 21st century. The final section covers climate risk and response – Michael Muntisov & Greg Finlayson

โ€œClimate Uncertainty and Riskโ€ provides a balanced, fair assessment of the content and conclusions of the IPCC ARs. It compares and contrasts some ancient but mostly more recent climate conditions and events in making the case for a broader inclusion of past situations to better understand and simulate the climate future. The book includes a thoughtful look at climate change versus COVID-19 risk, especially relative to applying the โ€œprecautionary principle.โ€ โ€œClimate Uncertainty and Riskโ€ is an essential contribution to understanding and mitigating climate change. Ms. Curryโ€™s goal is to better inform the reader โ€œas to the uncertainties and the various values in playโ€ surrounding the judgments as to โ€œwhether warming is dangerous or whether urgent action to reduce CO2 emissions is needed.โ€โ€•Anthony J. Sadar, The Washington Times, August 10, 2023
