The development of climate change is evaluated based on trends in long-term time series (1951 - 2018) of individual
climatic elements, comparing values of individual years with the standard period in climatology 1961 - 1990 (SAŽP, 2019). The
aim of the article is to evaluate climate elements, namely the production of greenhouse gases, average annual air temperature,
annual total atmospheric precipitation, drought index and annual soil temperature (soil index). Data presented in the article are
obtained from public reports on the state of the environment in the Slovak Republic and other related documents. In 1881 - 2018,
Slovakia underwent significant changes in all monitored climatic elements. The most crucial changes occurred in 2017 and 2018.
