Coping with Uncertainty: Modeling and Policy Issues

Springer, 2006

Uncertainties and risks have always been, and will remain, present; both in everybody’s life and in policy making. This presence is not always recognized because humans tend to perceive the world in a deterministic way, and in most cases succeed in somehow dealing with uncertainties. However, ignoring uncertainties often results in serious...

Global Warming - Myth or Reality?: The Erring Ways of Climatology (Springer Praxis Books / Environmental Sciences)
