Abstract

Climate change poses the most significant threat to humanity today. This study examines the global warming trend by analyzing temperature changes over the past century, uncovering alarming results. Various models, including the Random Walk with Drift approach with R programming language, have been used to compare different time horizons and scenarios. This research demonstrates the importance of utilizing advanced analytical techniques to better understand climate change’s impact. The findings underscore the urgency of implementing effective climate policies to mitigate the effects of global warming and safeguard our planet’s future.
