 Rising temperatures, already about 0.8degree Celsius above pre-industrial times. mean the world will struggle to limit warming to below 2 degree Celsius... Last year tied for the hottest year on record, confirming a long-term warming trend which will continue unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Thursday. The first 10 years of millennium proved to be the hottest decade since records began in the 19th century, it said. "The main signal is the warming trend continues and is being strengthened year after year," WMO secretary-General Michel Jarraud said. " The trend, unfortunately, will continue for a number of years but the amplitude will depend on the amount of greenhouse gases released,".
