Abstract

The climate change due to global warming is accepted among the greatest environmental problems resulted from the human effects of increasing energy consumption, urbanization and deforestation events threatening the healthy life of people and environment. Many results of the climate change due to global warming can be estimated as the melting of snow covers, terrestrial and sea icebergs, replacement of climate zones, frequent formation of severe weather events, floods that gain strength in time, severe droughts, formation of deserts, increasing epidemic cases and harmful agricultural insects, etc. all of which are very important events directly or indirectly affecting human life, socioeconomic sectors and ecological systems. Global warming is an effective change perceived by people from equator to poles, and from oceans to the highest lands. Since Turkey has a complex climatic structure, it is among the countries that will be mostly affected from the climate change especially due to global warming. Therefore, determining the dimensions of the effects of the global warming on Turkey’s climate will provide to estimate and make projections about the climatic changes in the country, since it is necessary for the future plans of water supply, agriculture, flood control, ecology, etc. activities.
