WMO Warns 2015 the Hottest Year on Record

 

This year will be the hottest on record and next year could be even hotter, according to a new report.

The World Meteorological Organisation says a combination of the El NiƱo weather pattern and human behaviour is causing temperatures to rise.

Decisions taken at a summit of world leaders in Paris starting on Monday could keep global temperature rises within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial times, a target set down in 2010 to try to prevent dangerous climate change.

“Yes, it’s still possible to keep to the 2 degree target but the more we wait for action the more difficult it will be,” WMO director-general Michel Jarraud told a news conference.
