Abstract

Climate change is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that affects the physical, biological, and social systems of the planet. As the global climate system is highly nonlinear and characterized by complex feedback loops and interactions, understanding the dynamics of climate change requires a comprehensive framework that can capture its inherent complexity. In recent years, the application of chaos theory to climate science has gained traction as a promising approach to understanding the chaotic behavior of the climate system. This research aims to investigate the role of chaos theory in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change. It will review the current state of the literature on chaos theory and climate science, with a focus on identifying key research gaps and areas for future research. Specifically, the study will explore how chaos theory can be used to model and predict the behavior of the climate system, and how it can inform the development of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The research will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze climate data, conduct simulations, and gather expert opinions. The result of this study provides better understanding of the complex dynamics of climate change, and inform policy decisions aimed at mitigating its impacts.
