Abstract :
In this paper, the features of environmental decision making problems are discussed. To support environmental decision making, an integrated method of decision analysis is developed, which consists of three components: variable selection and interrelationship analysis, factor analysis and alternative evaluation. The interrelationship of global warming and carbon dioxide CO2 emission is presented as an example to show the effectiveness of the proposed method
