"The 2001-2010 decade was the hottest on record, with more national temperature records reported broken and more unprecedented high-impact climate extremes than in any previous decade, according to a new report by the World Meteorological Organization. The emailed report says the decade was the warmest (for both hemispheres and for land and sea) since the start of modern measurements in 1850, almost doubling the pace of sea-level increase and causing a 20-fold jump in heat-related deaths. Almost 94 per cent of countries logged their warmest 10 years on record, it said." Via Renew Economy wmo.int/pages/mediacentre/press_releases/pr_976_en.html
