Global Warning is a 2008 release by Jon Oliva's Pain. It is the band's third studio release. The record reached #11 in the German MRC Rock Radio Charts during March 2008.[1]

On February 7, 2008, the initial track list of the album was posted at the band's forums.[2] On February 8, five song samples from said track list were posted on the band's MySpace page.[3] In support of the album, the band announced a tour of the United States and Europe,[4] with support on the European dates coming from Manticora and Masterstroke. The US tour was scheduled with support from Circle II Circle and Manticora. The tour with both JOP and CIIC would mean that Jon Oliva and Zachary Stevens were on the same bill for the first time since Savatage's 1999 tour.[5]

The record features a guest appearance by Ralph Santolla on two tracks: "Adding the Cost" and "You Never Know".[6] The track "Before I Hang" is made up of two previous Savatage songs - the original "Before I Hang" (of which a demo was released on The Dungeons Are Calling Silver Edition in 2002) as well as Streets lost track "Larry Elbows". The album also features a tribute to the band's former producer, Greg Marchak, who died prior to the album's release, entitled "O to G".
