Studies show ‘unequivocally’ that world is getting warmer

A SERIES of studies shows the world is “unequivocally” warming, scientists said yesterday as they confirmed the past decade was the hottest on record.

Researchers at the British Met Office compiled data series’ from several independent studies for each of a number of key “indicators” of the climate, including sea levels, air temperature, humidity and glacier loss.

The data, published as part of the annual State of the Climate review led by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, shows that global warming is “undeniable”.
