6. Bottom line for many is risk ignorance
A holistic approach
A look at UK risks concluded indirect risks an order of magnitude greater than direct domestic impacts
A range of ways people look at addressing climate change
An example of availability
As a Society We Are Preparing for a Medium-sized Climate Problem
Climate change and non-proliferation have similarities_but not in how we're approaching them

Energy Security vs. Climate Change
Evidence that we under-estimate the impact
Framework for climate regulation and management
Game theory challenge clear in regional sensitivities to future policy
Global negotiations getting more serious about climate change
How do we get off our current path of 4 degrees by 2100
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it
Impact of INDC's to date
Important to broaden participation in the risk assessment process
Important to understand risk, even if we don't like the answer
Is cost-benefit analysis even the right tool?
Juxtaposing climate, earthquake, and radioactivity risks
Many people find this very difficult to do.
No sensible risk management framework should ignore worst case scenarios
Recommendations for applying the principles of risk assessment
Relatively modest mitigation takes tail risk off the table
Remember the Challenge of Policy Implementation
Scientists have called for dramatic reductions - but no such policy in place
Scientists tend to avoid Type 1 error, and accept Type 2 error
Setting risk-responsible policy
Targets needed to stabilize at 2oC?
The Cancun Agreements give an outline of a global climate regime
The challenge of CC cost-benefit analysis
The problem of timing, with much of the benefit coming after 2050.
To stabilize at 2oC?
Trade agreements are a major impediment to climate action
We are not applying the lessons of managing security risks
We have tended to look at climate risks too narrowly
We've solved many environmental risks, why not climate change?
What drives growth?
Why climate change is different as a political issue
Why conservatives don't trust progressives
Why consider risk management in this context
Willful Blindness - We're happy to not see
With some imagination can include tipping points in the analysis.
