BBC News Online has today reported research from climate scientists that shows 2010 to be one of the hottest on record. It goes on to say:
The two leading US analyses of global temperature show that up until the end of October, 2010 was the warmest year in the instrumental record going back to 1850.
Further, the top 10 years for warmest temperatures have all been since 2000. So while it may be freezing in the UK at this moment – we must not confuse “weather” with “climate”.
