This year is on course to become one of the hottest, if not the hottest, on record, according to a provisional analysis by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
"The provisional information for 2014 means that 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 21st century," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud.
A final analysis for 2014 will be published in March next year. We’ll watch to see if global warming is once more confirmed.
