GLOBAL WARMING – TREND ANALYSIS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Abstract

Global warming, as part of general climate change, has certainly become an undeniable fact. An increasingly small part of the scientific and professional population denies this dramatic change in one of the most important parameters of the Earth's climate system, as well as the causes that encourage this process. The trend of temperature increase, as expected, varies to a certain extent in different parts of our planet. In this paper, an appropriate analysis of the temperature increase in the territory of the Republic of Serbia from the middle of the last century until today was performed. At the same time, as part of the analysis, a comparison was made with the global change. In the end, the city of Kragujevac was taken as a representative of the change in climate parameters in the Republic of Serbia and an analysis of the changes in the mentioned period was carried out. All the presented data indicate that climate change, and primarily Global Warming, is accelerating. This process already has serious, and with intensification can have catastrophic consequences for the living world on the planet, including humans.
