This article aims to examine the causes and consequences of climate change on the environment and then prioritize the solution for reducing its influence on the environment under the setting of the bipolar complex fuzzy set (BCFS). Climate change is illustrated by the transformation of wind, temperature, and precipitation; regardless of its natural causes, it is generally connected with human movement and ozone-depleting substances. It is an important task to determine the reasons, effects, and, especially, solutions for reducing the effects of climate change. The prioritization of the solution for reducing the influence of climate change is a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) dilemma, and for solving such a dilemma, we need a proper MADM technique. Thus, in this study, we first interpreted various aggregation operators (AOs) such as bipolar complex fuzzy (BCF) power Dombi averaging (BCFPDA); BCF power Dombi weighted averaging (BCFPDWA); BCF power Dombi ordered weighted averaging (BCFPDOWA); BCF power Dombi geometric (BCFPDG); BCF power Dombi weighted geometric (BCFPDWG); and BCF power Dombi ordered weighted geometric (BCFPDOWG) and then interpreted an MADM approach based on the invented operators. Furthermore, we studied a numerical example regarding the prioritization of solutions for the reduction of the influence of climate change on the environment and achieved the best solution, i.e.,
1 Introduction
Climate change depicts a transformation under normal circumstances such as precipitation and temperature in a particular region during a certain period. For instance, some centuries ago, a large part of the United States was covered by ice sheets and today, there is a hotter climate with fewer glacial masses. Worldwide climate change alludes to the typical long-haul changes over the whole planet, such as reduction in rain and the rise in temperature, that imply increased ice liquefaction in places such as Greenland, the Arctic, and Antarctica; the rise of ocean levels; the change in blossom and plant-sprouting times; and the contraction of mountains’ icy masses. Researchers have noticed atypical changes. For instance, the planet’s typical temperature has been increasing more rapidly than anticipated in recent years. Some regions face more change in the temperature than others. However, the air temperature of the world near the surface of the earth has increased by two degrees Fahrenheit in the last hundred years. The last 5 years have been the hottest in hundreds of years. Researchers are worried about this warming up. If the climate of the earth keeps heating up, the power of precipitation during tempests, such as tropical storms, will increase and dry spells will intensify. A change of a couple of degrees in the temperature of the whole planet will seriously affect the earth, plants, and animals. There are various solutions for the reduction of the effects of climate change that can help in saving the planet. Falloon et al. (2014)) investigated ensembles and vagueness in climate change influence. Im et al. (2022) discussed climate change and air pollution. Khurshid et al. (2022) studied the influence of climate change on economic development. Dong et al. (2023) used the integrated fuzzy decision technique to study digital green innovation investment project selection of photovoltaic building material enterprises.
MADM can offer the best option among the possible ones. To make the right decisions, various scholars have come up with various possible ideas. Initially, their decisions were modeled on the notion of crisp sets which were headed toward unsatisfactory outcomes and were not applicable in real-life circumstances. Due to the increased complexity of these circumstances, it is difficult for an expert or decision analyst to deal with vague or imprecise information, so experts cannot use the conventional approach to determine the best alternative. Zadeh (1965) proposed a novel model which is a fuzzy set (FS) that is a strong model to handle MADM issues. In FS, the domain element consists of a value between 0 and 1, which is called the grade of satisfaction (GS). The FS model has been used in many areas by numerous scholars (Maiers and Sherif, 1985; Adlassnig, 1986; Rasheed, 2019; Lin et al., 2021). But, in some circumstances, the FS lacks certain information or data due to deficiencies in the model. For example, the FS model cannot express the negative expressions of human beings in real-life issues. Therefore, Zhang (1994) proposed a new model which is a bipolar fuzzy set (BFS), which is a strong model to handle MADM problems that cannot be handled by the FS. In the BFS, a domain element consists of a value between 0 and 1 which is called a positive grade of satisfiability (PGS), and a value between −1 and 0 which is called a negative grade of satisfiability (NGS).
Some shortcomings of the FS model have been discussed previously. Another limitation of the FS model is the lack of a second dimension, i.e., extra fuzzy information. The FS model is unsuccessful in real-life issues where experts need additional fuzzy information or a second dimension. Ramot et al. (2002) proposed a modified model of the FS which is a complex fuzzy set (CFS) that is a great model for handling MADM issues where the second dimension is required. In CFS, an element of the domain consists of a value in a unit disk of a complex plane which is called the grade of satisfaction. Due to the development of the world and the increasing complexities in every situation, it is difficult for an expert or decision analyst to handle information containing ambiguities or inaccuracies. Therefore, experts cannot determine the best alternative with the models discussed previously in numerous real-life circumstances, since each model has its shortcomings; for example, the FS cannot model negative expressions and the second dimension, the BFS cannot model the second dimension, and the CFS cannot model negative expressions. Therefore, Mahmood and Ur Rehman (2022a) combined all these models and formed a new bipolar complex fuzzy set (BCFS) model which is perfect to handle MADM problems which could not be managed by the previous models. In BCFS, an element of the domain consists of a positive grade of satisfiability and a negative grade of satisfiability in a unit square of the complex plane.

Chung and Kim (2014) constructed a fuzzy multi-criteria method to rank areas for treating wastewater assuming various climate change situations. Climate change was studied under fuzzy SWAT and TOPSIS approaches by Senent-Aparicio et al. (2017). Deveci et al. (2022) investigated climate change using the fuzzy WASPAS method. A large number of decision-making (DM) approaches investigated by various authors for BFS such as the MCDM technique discussed by Alghamdi et al. (2018), TOPSIS and ELECTRE-I approaches invented by Akram and Arshad (2020), MULTIMOORA technique investigated by Stanujkic et al. (2019), and the VIKOR mechanism established by Alsolame and Alshehri (2020). Numerous researchers have studied graphs in the setting of a BFS such as Rashmanlou et al. (2016), Samanta and Pal (2012), Singh and Kumar (2014), and Akram (2011). Bipolar fuzzy (BF) relations were investigated by Lee and Hur (2019), Yang (2020), and Dudziak and Pe (2010). Several scholars have explored aggregation operators (AOs) for BFS such as Jana et al. (2019a), Wei et al. (2018), and Riaz et al. (2022). The algebraic structures of the BFS were investigated by different authors such as Abughazalah et al. (2022) who investigated serval ideals in BCI algebras in the setting of the BFS, Yiarayong (2021) who studied bipolar fuzzy semigroups, and Senapati (2015) who invented bipolar fuzzy BG sub-algebras. Abdullah et al. (2014) gave the notion of BF soft sets (SSs).
Tamir et al. (2011) studied the notion of CFS in the Cartesian structure. The relations in the setting of CFS were explored by Zhang et al. (2010) and Khan et al. (2021). The AOs for the CFS were discussed by Bi et al. (2019), Bi et al. (2018), and Hu et al. (2019). Ur Rehman and Mahmood (2022) explored similarity measures (SMs) in the environment of the BCFS. Ur Rehman et al. (2022) established an analytical hierarchy process based on the Frank AOs in the setting of the BCFS. Mahmood and Ur Rehman (2022b) explored the MADM mechanism based on the Dombi AOs in the environment of the BCFS. Mahmood et al. (2022a) identified and classified the AOs for BCFS.

(2022c) researched the bipolar complex fuzzy SS (BCFSS).
1.2 Motivation and advantages
Dombi t-norm and t-conorm operators were first investigated by Dombi (1982). Dombi operators (DOs) have a great facility to work in the assessment of parameters and provide accurate and successful outcomes. Numerous scholars around the world used DOs in many notions (Jana et al., 2019a; Jana et al., 2019b; Khan et al., 2019; Seikh and Mandal, 2021; Jana et al., 2022). In 2001, Yager (2001) proposed the power aggregation operator (PAO) to manage and lessen the impact of important approximation information of certain favoritism decision-makers. Several scholars have used PAOs in various notions such as Jiang et al. (2018), Wei and Lu (2018), Hu et al. (2019), Liu et al. (2021), and Alcantud et al. (2022). The reality is that the BCFS is a perfect model for the management of MADM issues involving ambiguous and uncertain information, and it is the most modified version of the FS. The comparison of the BCFS with a few prevailing notions is shown in Table 1.
The combination of DOs and PAOs would finish the favoritism of a decision-maker and will make the process more fair and reliable. Until now, there has been no study on the power of Dombi AOs in the setting of the BCFS which means that the experts cannot get the advantages of the parameter of DOs and the PAOs in the environment of the BCFS and would not get a fair result. Motivated by this, in this study, we combined DOs and PAOs in a BCFS environment to obtain the advantages of DOs, PAOs, and BCFS, and we investigated BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators and the MADM approach based on these operators. In various situations in the area of environmental science, the decision experts would face the information in the model of the BCFS, and to get better and fair results, they would need the invented operators and the invented MADM approach. Thus, in addition, we studied the prioritization of solutions to reduce the effect of climate change on the environment under the setting of the BCFS. A few precious advantages of the discovered information are as follows.
1. Neglecting the imaginary part in both the positive grade of satisfaction and negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the BFS model.
2. Neglecting the negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the CFS model.
3. Neglecting the imaginary part in a positive grade of satisfaction and neglecting a negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the FS model.
The following Table 2 shows the comparison of the derived work with certain existing operators.
The structure of this article is as follows. In Section 2, we explore some basics about climate change, BCFS, its properties, Dombi t-norm and t-conorm, and PAOs. In Section 3, we have two subsections: we develop the BCF power Dombi-averaging operators in subsection 3.1 and we develop the BCF power Dombi geometric operators in subsection 3.2. In Section 4, we propose an MADM approach in the BCF sets by using the proposed operators and discussing a numerical example. The proficiency and advantages of this study are shown in Section 5, where our approach is compared with those of some works in the literature. The conclusion is presented in Section 6.
2 Preliminaries
Climate change is a worldwide alteration of the climate over an extended period of time. This transformation can occur at both territorial and universal levels. The climate change that is currently occurring poses a great danger to life on this planet. World leaders have reached an important compromise in the Paris Agreement to begin reducing the effects of climate change. At the heart of all climate change agreements is the reduction of fluxes of ozone-depleting substances, which should reach zero quickly. Since seas and plants play an important role in maintaining the climate or environment, that is the inherent capacity of plants and seas will retain carbon dioxide, which would help reduce global warming. Substances that damage the ozone layer allow the sun to shine unrestrictedly on the earth’s surface. Normal ozone-depleting substances ensure a reasonable temperature for life on the planet, instead of artificial gases that produce exceptionally high heat expansion. They prevent its intensity from being reflected into space and disperse it throughout the world. There are several substances that damage the ozone layer. The six gases to be managed by the Paris Agreement are hydrofluorocarbons, methane, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and perfluorocarbons. The effects of climate change are as follows:
1. Global warming: Global warming is one of the main impacts of climate change. It is undeniable that the Earth’s temperature is rising rapidly due to human actions such as intensive agriculture, deforestation, over-exploitation, and mining.
2. Air pollution: The vital ozone-depleting substance is not considered an atmospheric pollutant as it does not appear to influence human wellbeing. However, there is a relationship between global warming and climate change as the atmospheric intensity of some air pollutants.
3. Water pollution: Climate change and water pollutants are firmly connected, both in streams, seas, and oceans. This pollution specifically manifests itself through changes in the progressions of different streams, temperature expansion, and the focus of pollutants in the water.
4. Land pollution: Dirt is equally affected by climate change. The land and the climate are affected by human actions; natural resources are exceptionally delicate and, most of the time, are wasted by men.
There are several solutions to reduce and manage the influence of climate change on the environment. In Section 4, we will discuss solutions to climate change.

4 Application
Climate change is detrimental to the environment and the earth’s health. In the previous sections, we have briefly discussed climate change, its effects, and its causes. Now, we consider ways of preventing climate change. There are some solutions to climate change listed as follows:
1. Renewable energies: To reduce climate change, we need to adopt renewable and clean energies such as geothermal, solar, biomass, and wind.
2. Sustainable transportation: For the prevention of climate change, we have to align transportation techniques with ecological needs, and we have to decrease their carbon footprint. It is vital to re-evaluate our vehicle strategies from the planning phase toward eco-friendly transportation.
3. Air pollution prevention: There are numerous strategies to reduce, control, and prevent air pollution, namely, by reducing the use of non-renewable energy sources and restricting industrial and waste outflows. By preventing air pollution, climate change would be reduced.
4. Squander management and reusing: The best way to reduce waste is to fit creative techniques into our utilization designs. The reuse system must also be considered in our usage propensities.
5. Ocean and sea protection: Seas and oceans are the biggest reservoirs of ozone-depleting substances and are an extraordinary emotional support network for life on earth. Presently, it is critical to restrict overfishing and unreasonable constructions in beachfront regions; the utilization of harmless ecosystem elements is advisable.
6. Circular economy: To prevent climate change, we need to use the three “Rs” of the circular economy, i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, to collectively reduce our waste and avoid the superfluous creation of new things.
The search for the best solution to climate change is an MADM issue, and for this, we provide an MADM approach.
4.1 MADM method
Let a class of
Step 1The information or data presented by the expert in the structure of BCFN was gathered, i.e.,
Step 2The matrix was normalized to achieve a normalized matrix if the data are cost type by using the following formula
where
Step 3The decision matrix achieved was aggregated after step 2 with the assistance of one of the propounded BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators.
Step 4To be able to order the aggregated values of the previous step, the score values were determined with the assistance of Eq. 2. If Eq. 2 showed equal values for any two aggregated values, then one can determine the accuracy values by Eq. 3.
Step 5. Relying on this obtained order, the ranking can be determined.Now, we consider a numerical example regarding the prioritization of solutions to reduce the influence of climate change on the environment.
4.2 Numerical example
Let us consider four solutions to climate change, i.e.,
Step 1The data presented by the expert in the model of BCFS are illustrated in Table 3.
Step 2No requirement for normalization.
Step 3The decision matrix obtained after step 2 was aggregated with the assistance of the proposed BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators, and the outcomes are displayed in Table 4. Furthermore, we used the SM defined by Mahmood and Rehman (Rashmanlou et al., 2016) for support.In Table 4, we present the aggregated outcomes of each alternative. Using BCFPDA, we found the aggregated outcomes as
Step 4We achieved the order among the aggregated outcomes by retrieving the score values with the help of Eq. 2, as shown in Table 5.In Table 5, we present the score value of each alternative. By using BCFPDA and Eq. 2, we found the score value of
Step 5. Relying on the score values, the ranking is presented in Table 6.From Table 6, we achieved the ranking order by using all the invented operators and keeping the parameter
4.3 Advantages and limitations
The investigated MADM approach has the advantage of tackling the information in the environment of BCFS, BFS, CFS, and FS. The investigated MADM technique used one of the invented operators in the setting of BCFS and can be reduced to the settings of BFS, CFS, and FS. Thus, the invented MADM approach can also transform into the BFS, CFS, and FS. The invented MADM approach is unable to handle the information in the setting of complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets, bipolar complex intuitionistic fuzzy set, and their generalizations. Furthermore, from the previously discussed numerical example, we noticed that the data of this example are artificial but it is a practical situation from real life. This shows that the interpreted operators and MADM technique would be useful to handle real-life dilemmas in various fields such as computer science and environmental science.
4.4 Sensitivity analysis of
Here, we observed the effect of the parameter

5 Comparison
The research we developed in this article has more advantages and is more effective than the solutions proposed in other articles. To prove this, we apply the data in Table 3 which contains the information on the structure of BCFNs from the works of Jana et al. (2022), Jana et al. (2019a), Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022b), and our own. The results are shown in Table 13, and the ranking is in Table 14.
TABLE 13. Score values of the data given in Table 3 were achieved by using both our research and the existing results.
TABLE 14. Ranking order relies on the score values achieved in Table 13.
The works initiated by Jana et al. (2022), Jana et al. (2019a), and Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022a) crashed while handling the information from Table 1 as we can see in Table 13 and Table 14. The reason for the crash of Jana et al. (2022) is not being able to account for the negative aspects and the second dimension, i.e., unreal parts as Jana et al. (2022) initiated power Dombi AOs for Pythagorean FS. Furthermore, the reason for the crash of Jana et al. (2019a) is not able to account for the second dimension, i.e., unreal parts, and it is not able to determine
From this discussion, it is clear that for getting fair and better results by solving complicated and awkward data in the setting of BCFS, the invented operators and the method are the best and only tools. None of the existing operators can handle such information. Moreover, the existing parameter
6 Conclusion
This article contains the combination of the three most significant notions which are Dombi t-norm and t-conorm, PA operator, and BCF set. As is well known, BCF is a good model for the management of MADM problems involving ambiguous and uncertain information. Therefore, this article contains power Dombi AOs, i.e., BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators in the environment of BCFS. In addition, this paper contains a discussion of climate change and its influence on the environment. Regardless of whether climate change may likewise have natural causes, it is generally related to human movement and ozone-depleting substances. Weather conditions and patterns are changing as a result of climate change. Due to several variables, the climate is changing quickly. It goes without saying that the temperature of the entire planet is rising. We need to take drastic steps to stop climate change since it is affecting the resources and life on our planet. If effective tactics are used to tackle climate change, we can stop it. Here are some strategies for reducing climate challenges: 1) Establish laws and agreements about climate change, 2) spread knowledge about climate change, 3) hold climate change capacity-building initiatives, 4) put clean energy initiatives into action, 5) outlaw tree-cutting and deforestation, 6) steer clear of using chemical fertilizers 7), preserve flora and fauna, 8) increase the number of trees in the neighborhood and nearby places, 9) lower your energy use, 10) keep areas spotless, 11) minimize the wastage of natural resources such as water, 12) purchase appliances and goods that are energy-efficient, and 13) be mindful of the environment and safeguard its resources. To determine the best solution to reducing the effect of climate change on the environment, this study contains a MADM approach in the setting of BCFS using the investigated operators. In addition, we conducted a numerical example on the prioritization of solutions to reduce the influence of climate change on the environment and obtain the best solution which is
In the future, we wish to continue this research in other realms such as health effects of climate change (Costello et al., 2009), complex fuzzy semi-groups (Rehman et al., 2023), complex fuzzy sub-groups (Yang et al., 2022), complex bipolar intuitionistic FS (Jan et al., 2022a), complex bipolar picture FS (Jan et al., 2022b), complex hesitant FS (Mahmood et al., 2021b), and complex T-spherical FS (Zedam et al., 2022).
