Book:
Climate Uncertainty and Risk
 World
leaders have made a forceful statement that
climate change is the greatest challenge
facing humanity in the 21st century.
However, little progress has been made in
implementing policies to address climate
change. In 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.
Climate Uncertainty and Risk is essential
reading for those concerned about the
environment, professionals dealing with
climate change and our national leaders.

Attempts
to explain attitudes to climate change, and the refusal
of large parts of society to accept the idea of an
imminent catastrophe, have largely foundered. This
groundbreaking book overturns the existing literature,
developing a powerful new model of public attitudes
based on the interaction of traditional religion and a
new culture – a new faith – of climate catastrophism,
which is instinctively accepted or rejected. At its
centre is a series of measurements of public opinion,
culled from major international polls, which make a
strong case that society is now in the grip of a major
new religion. That case is made still more powerful
because the model is able to predict real-world
outcomes, such as the deployment of renewables and the
prevalence of climate protest groups in different
countries.
