Decision-analytic Approach to Global Warming: An Application of Bayes’ Theorem

Author

Abstract

The purposes of this study are to review the decision process on the issue of global warming and to suggest possible processes for decision improvement. This study examines the problem structure of global warming and theoretically explicates the decision-analytic approach based on normative decision theories and application to global warming. From the descriptive perspective, this study also tries to identify limitations of the decision-analytic approach and to suggest some considerations for a better decision process of global warming.
