3.1.6. Discussion of the Results
Global warming is complex process including several interacting
processes comprising heat transfer process from the sun to the earth ,emission
of green house gases , change of income per capita and energy consumption.
These processes are identified by the respective indicators, including: surface
temperature, CO 2 emission, income per capita and energy consumption. Each
of the indicators are specified as parameters contributing to the resilience
index of the global system.
In this evaluation we have assumed that each parameter of the system is
contributing to the resilience of global system with weighting factor reflecting
respective constrain imposed on the Cases in this analysis. In this exercise the
multi-criteria method is applied in the determination of sustainability index
and resilience index as the measure of system quality and stability.
In this evaluation six cases are taken into the consideration. First four
cases are devoted to those situations when priority is given to the individual
indicator with other indicators are having the same normalized value. Here, it
should be emphasized that the rating list for each case is the measuring
parameter which justify the stability of the system under specific constrain.
Global worming measured by the resiliency of the system is reflecting the
effect of processes under consideration to the potential catastrophic events.
Those events are the unexpected behavior of the system following interaction
of the processes under consideration. It is of interest to recognize that the
interaction of the processes under consideration lead to the agglomeration of
the potential hazard effect of the individual process.
1.5.2. C ONCLUSIONS
Study of global warming has been under very high attention of the
scientific and human community in order to learn more about potential
catastrophic events. So, it is of special interest to learn more about interaction
of the different processes and potential hazard consequences of the resilience
of global warming.
In this paper we have tried to develop the method for the evaluation
resilience of global warming having in mind that the interaction of different
processes may lead to the catastrophic events.
Obtained results of this exercise prove that the evaluation of the resilience
can be used as qualitative measure of the potential hazard behavior of the
