    2015: World's hottest year on record
  • According to data released by NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2015 was the hottest year ever recorded.

    The data suggests that 2015 was 0.13-016°C higher than 2014, the previous record year.

    Scientists have attributed this to the El Nino phenomenon which caused Pacific Ocean currents to warm last year.

    An unprecedented 10 out of 12 months set new temperature records in 2015.

    The WMO said that data from the first 10 months of 2015 suggest that average land and sea temperatures would reach record levels by the end of the year.

    The WMO released these preliminary findings to "inform negotiators at the (upcoming) UN Climate Change Conference in Paris".

  • "We have the knowledge and the tools to act. We have a choice. Future generations will not," said the Head of the World Meterological Organisation, Michel Jarraud, stressing the importance at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
