How global climate changed over the past 50 years?
Temperature increase: The global average temperature in the last 50 years increased by about 1.2°C. Scientists indicate that warming in this period is caused by industrial activities.
Ocean warming: Sea surface temperatures increased to 0.2°C in the last 50 years. Ocean warming can cause changes in climate events while threatening the life of sea creatures.

The calules in the polar regions lose an average of 280 gigaton ice in the last 50 years. This can lead to changes in sea levels and climate systems. [
[
Sea level rise: Sea levels rise to 10-20 cm in the last 50 years. This rise from frosts and seawater warming is a situation that threatens life in coastal areas.

]Extreme weather events: Over 50 years of weather events increased by 30 percent. Severe storms have become more often and severe than events such as drought, flood and fire.
Change of climate generations: Temperature rise caused the climate generations to slip between 56-111 kilometers. This also negatively affects agricultural and natural ecosystems by changing climate in certain regions.
Greenhouse gas release: In the last 50 years, carbon dioxide (CO2) release increased by 50 percent. Industrial activities, energy production and transportation, increased the atmosphere of greenhouse gases. This situation also strengthened the greenhouse effect.
Sea acidification: Increased carbon dioxide levels acid water in the oceans. This situation creates a negative impact on marine ecosystems.
The migration of plant and animal species: Climate change caused plant and animal species to migrate. This led biodiversity loss by changing ecosystem balance.
Climate change policies: Over the past 50 years, various policies and agreements appeared to fight climate change in the global diameter. However, there are still discussions about whether these efforts are enough.
