WARM START TO 21st CENTURY

The first decade of the 21st century will go down as the warmest in known history due to the impact of human-made climate change.
According to the UK Met the temperature records examined so far this century have shown that global warming had pushed the world's temperature up 0.07C.
The figures were calculated for the World Meteorological Organization using data from more than 3,000 land-based weather stations across the planet.
Over the last eight years, the global temperature has risen by 0.2C, compared to the average for the previous decade. The ten warmest years on record have all occurred in the eleven years since 1997. The warmest, in 2005 was an average of 14.8C.
This year is on course to become the tenth warmest since worldwide records began in 1850, an event that would be consider "exceptionally unusual" but is now "quite normal," according to climate scientists.
Human influence, particularly emission of greenhouse gases, has greatly increased the chance of having such warm years, said Dr Peter Stott of the UK Met Office.
Comparing observations with the expected response to man-made and natural drivers of climate change, Dr Stott said the global temperature is now over 0.7 degrees C warmer than if humans were not altering the climate.
This year's warming was more pronounced in the northern hemisphere, which scientists believe is heating faster than the south because a greater proportion of it is land that reacts faster to conditions in the atmosphere than the sea.

Fucking funny, as if it gets any more warmer where I live, it will be freezing soon.
