Over the past 100 years, the universal average of surface air Temperature progressively increased by 0.3 - 0.6^oC.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) studies concluded that an increase would, if the situation remained unchanged, lead to serious problems, such as sea water level rise bearing the threat of low laying areas getting drowned.
