Beschreibung
In Climate Future, Robert Pindyck explains what we know and what we don't know about the extent of climate change and its impact, why there is so much uncertainty, and what it means for climate policy. Pindyck argues that investments in adaptation are urgently needed to insure against catastrophic climate change events and shows how that can be done.
