CMU receives $6.9 million to create new climate center

From EurekAlert:

"Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Engineering and Public Policy will receive $6.9 million over the next five years from the National Science Foundation to study climate-related decision making.

Most climate researchers promise to reduce uncertainty. Carnegie Mellon's new Climate Decision Making Center is different. It begins its work by acknowledging that many of the uncertainties about future climate, and the human actions that are changing climate, can not be resolved ahead of time. The center will develop methods to support decision makers in the face of this 'irreducible uncertainty.' "
