This decade has been the warmest since global surface temperatures started being recorded in the mid-1800s, according to figures released Tuesday at the climate change talks in Copenhagen.
"Despite 1998 being the warmest individual year, the last 10 years have clearly been the warmest period in the 160-year record of global surface temperature maintained jointly by the Met Office Hadley Centre and the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia," said a news release issued by the United Kingdom’s National Weather Service, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
"These figures highlight that the world continues to see global temperature rise — most of which is due to increasing emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and clearly shows that the argument that global warming has stopped is flawed," the Met Office said.
In related news, the World Meteorological Organization said the latest figures indicate that 2009 will go down in the books as the fifth warmest year — 0.44 degrees Celsius warmer than the long-term average of 14 degrees C (57 degrees Fahrenheit), Dow Jones reported.
Thanks for coming by my blog I so love to meet new people.
Yes it was a Catholic ceremony in a cathedral the same one my folks were married in, the same one I was baptized in and both my children.
I want to repeat our vows when its 50 years, I hope we both make it that far.My Great -grandparents celebrated their 75th, imagine that in this day and age.
Have a great week!
