To design around the
cost uncertainty associated with ambitious emission targets, governments have put in place design features that effectively cap the cost exposure.
This is absolutely correct, and it is primarily a manifestation of the
profound uncertainties associated with the details regarding how the climate operates and what the economy will look like decades hence.
The Low Dose Radiation Research Act of 2015 directs the two organisations to carry out a research program «to enhance the scientific understanding of and
reduce uncertainties associated with the effects of exposure to low dose radiation in order to inform improved risk management methods.»
There is no specific justification for the claim that «
uncertainty associated with historical temperature reconstructions» is larger in TAR than in AR4, as no specific citation is given in the ISPM.
Large uncertainties associated with estimates of past solar forcing (Section 2.7.1) and omission of some chemical and dynamical response mechanisms (Gray et al., 2005) make it difficult to reliably estimate the contribution of solar forcing to warming over the 20th century.
«Because the 21 individual reports are planned to address
scientific uncertainties associated with climate change and other technical subjects and are to be issued over a period of three or more years, it may be difficult for the Congress and others to use this information effectively as the basis for making decisions on climate policy,» according to the GAO.
«It is imperative that utility planners recognize the risks and
uncertainties associated with greenhouse gas emissions and identify a reasonable, cost - effective approach to addressing them,» stated the UTC in the directive.
In the statement accompanying the release, the Bank noted that «
uncertainties associated with Brexit are weighing on domestic activity, which has slowed even as global growth has risen significantly.»
«Participants did not see the steel and aluminum tariffs, by themselves, as likely to have a significant effect on the national economic outlook, but a strong majority of participants viewed the prospect of retaliatory trade actions by other countries, as well as other issues and
uncertainties associated with trade policies, as downside risks for the US economy,» the minutes said.
But there is
uncertainty associated with all the forecasts and some forecasters are trying to estimate the extent of that uncertainty, which in turn can be used to calculate probabilities of particular events (hung parliament, largest party, etc..)
In addition, a wide range of forcing schemes designed to span the approximate range of
uncertainties associated with anthropogenic climate forcing estimates were generated and implemented in order to assess what differences in effects exist between the «best guess» counter-anthropogenic geoengineering forcing scheme and other plausible schemes.
The Siegel and Franz letter simply emphasizes the new challenges associated with measuring changes in phytoplankton biomass in the satellite remote sensing paradigm, where sampling frequency is much improved, but limited time - series duration and
uncertainties associated with instrument calibration and data processing algorithms complicate the interpretation.
