Abstract

In this study, we will look at how the uncertainty in climate sensitivity influences policy in a FAIR-DICE climate model with a spread of different values in climate sensitivity. Varying possibilities for the climate sensitivity combined with the possibility for solar radiation management (SRM) as a means of climate change abatement. This way, we hope to gauge the theoretical viability of SRM despite the fact that climate sensitivity is not certain.
