It is the light of\u0000sun that environmental pollution is responsible for the cause and immediate effect of global warming. Limited amount of\u0000oxygen in the air, continuous decrease of fresh water volume, more especially the amount of drinking water and the rise of\u0000temperature in the globe are the major symptoms (variants) of global warming. Thus, to capture the facts we need to\u0000develop a mathematical model which has not yet been developed by the earlier researchers.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 An efficient literature survey has been done over the three major parameters of the environment namely\u0000oxygen, fresh water and surface temperature exclusively. In fact we have accumulated 150 years-data structure for these\u0000major components and have analyzed them under fuzzy system so as to develop an efficient global warming indicator\u0000model.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 First of all, we gave few definitions on fuzzy set. Utilizing the data set we have constructed appropriate\u0000membership functions of the three major components of the environment. Then applying goal programming problem, we\u0000have constructed a fuzzy global warming indicator (GWI) model subject to some goal constraints with respective priority\u0000vectors (Scenario 1 and Scenario 2). An extension has also been included for multi-valued goal programming problem and\u0000numerical illustrations have been done with the help of LINGO software.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Numerical study reveals that the GWI takes maximum and minimum values in a decreasing manner as time\u0000increases. It is seen that for scenario 1, the global environmental system will attain its stability after 30 years by degrading\u000031% of GWI with respect to present base line. For scenario 2, after the same time the global environmental system will\u0000attain its stability quite slowly by degrading 28% of GWI with respect to present base line.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 Here we have studied a mathematical model of global warming first time using fuzzy system. No other\u0000mathematical models have been existed in the literature. Thus, the basic novelty lies in a robust decision-making approach\u0000which shows the expected time of extinction of major species in this world. However, extensive study on data analytics\u0000over major environmental components can tell the stability of the global warming indicator and hence the future fate of\u0000the globe also.\u0000","PeriodicalId":436903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fuzzy Logic and Modeling in Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128500029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
