Alternatives to stabilization scenarios

چکیده
[1] Studies attempting to constrain climate sensitivity, or equilibrium surface warming in response to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, by comparing models with observations report a wide range of distributions, particularly regarding the upper bound. There is, by contrast, a considerable consensus surrounding the transient climate response, in large part because it is directly related to observed warming attributable to greenhouse gases. We argue that scenarios which can exploit this consensus may be preferable to stabilization scenarios for practical policy-making purposes. The difficulty of ruling out a high equilibrium warming response to elevated carbon dioxide levels may provide an opportunity for reassessment of the stabilization scenario as the centerpiece of climate policy in favour of scenarios that are more directly constrained by the transient response.

In Data Envelopment Analysis, uncertain data are the inseparable part of real models. Natural models usually deal with uncertain and probable data. Many researchers prioritize these kinds of data. For instance, they study fuzzy data, interval data, probabilistic models etc. In this article, we proposed a method in which the decision making units are uncertain in their inputs and outputs. In the...
