Agreeing to disagree: Uncertainty management in assessing climate

There is a standard definition of risk as the combination of the probability of an event and its consequences (ISO, 2002), which is consistent with, but more general than, the simple “product of probability times loss.” As for uncertainty, it may be simpler to define it negatively, that is all other ...
