respectively, this option will correspond to potential social impact to the
resilience index. As it was defined for other options, if the sudden change of
income will lead to the unexpected change of the resilience index than the
catastrophic even can be expected. Otherwise, this situation can lead to the
social events which may be difficult to control.
Option 4
The energy consumption per capita is an indicator which reflects the
economic advances in global welfare. The maximum change of energy
consumption per capita is the measure of the potential change of the quality
life on our planet. Introduction of other indicators change reflecting zero
change will define the potential change of the global advances.

The procedure for the Global Warming Resilience Index determination is
based on the assumption that options are defined by the agglomerated function
with weighted arithmetic mean as the synthesized function. Each option is
defined with the respective priority given to the individual option.
The numerical values for the maximum of respective indicator are
determined as specified in the table 1.

Multi-criteria evaluation of the Global Warming Resilience Index includes
four options defined by the respective resilience indicators as shown in table 1.
The multi-criteria assessment of the selected options comprise several steps,
