The Lesser of Two Climate Evils

As billions of dollars are being spent to control methane leaks, climate science experts believe that this effort should go toward controlling CO2 levels, where the effects of high levels could be irreversible.

#ClimateData 

The Center for Robust Decisionmaking on Climate and Energy Policy (RDCEP) brings together experts in economics, physical sciences, energy technologies, law, computational mathematics, statistics, and computer science to undertake a series of tightly connected research programs aimed at improving the computational models needed to evaluate climate and energy policies, and to make robust decisions based on outcomes.
