Abstract
Those who deny the importance of strong and urgent action on climate change essentially offer one of, or a combination of, the following arguments. First, there are those who deny the scientific link between human activities and global warming; most people, and the vast majority of scientists,

A systematic attempt to determine the range of climate changes consistent with these uncertainties, based on a 53-member ensemble of model versions constructed by varying model parameters, which produces a range of regional changes much wider than indicated by traditional methods based on scaling the response patterns of an individual simulation.

A new version of the PAGE model, PAGE2002, is introduced, which includes all five of the IPCC’s reasons for concern about climate change, and gives the mean marginal impact of a tonne of CO2 as US$19 perTonne of carbon.

A metric for this concept, based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment of climate impacts, is mapped onto probability distributions of future climate change produced from uncertainty in key parameters of the coupled social-natural system—climate sensitivity, climate damages, and discount rate.
