... climates have changed in the past and should be expected to change in the future. How has the global climate changed in the past? An analysis of surface temperature data since the middle of the last century shows that both hemispheres experienced a general warming from the late 1800s until about 1940 and a cooling trend until the mid 1960s ... Since then, the globe as a whole appears to have warmed with a global temperature increase of about 0.3 to 0.6°C (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 1992). 4, record 1, English, - global%20climate
