Winter Season Analysis of Global Warming Impact on Sivas Province
Abstract
The climate has undergone various levels of
change since the existence of the Earth. With the industrial Resolution,
humankind has begun to be influential in climate change. Industrial revolution
lead to unsteady greenhouse gases emissions that led to the global warming and
consequent climate change impacts at different scales in various regions of the
world. Accordingly, the seasonal periods started to change especially for
seasons of Spring and Fall and consequently undesirable changes in the natural events started to occur such as excessive rain, outdoor temperatures above
seasonal normal levels. Nowadays, global climate change is one of the most
significant problems that mankind has to front with respect to its results. Due
to global warming the Turkish province of Sivas is in a sensitive position
because of its location. In this study, Sivas province is studied in terms of
monthly and seasonal temperature trends. The temperature trends are analyzed by
the use of linear regression techniques and the results indicate a significant
rise in temperature trends.
