The U.N. weather agency says that the current decade is likely to set a new 10-year temperature record, adding further evidence that the world is getting hotter.

FILE - In this Oct, 27, 2019 file photo, a bird stands on a sun-baked pool that used to be a perennial water supply in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe. The chair of the two-week COP25 climate summit attended by nearly 200 countries warned at its opening Monday Dec. 2, 2019 that those refusing to adjust to the planet's rising temperatures "will be on the wrong side of history."

MADRID — The World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday that preliminary temperature data show the years from 2015 to 2019 and from 2010 to 2019 “are, respectively, almost certain to be the warmest five-year period and decade on record.” In a report released on the sidelines of this year’s U.N. climate change conference in Madrid, the agency said this continues the trend that “since the 1980s, each successive decade has been warmer than the last.”

While full-year temperature measurements won’t be available for several more months, the agency also said that 2019 is expected to be the second or third warmest year on record.

Canada used to be very warm. So more warm places means more places for agricultural land. Global warming is actually good for all of us.

And they will make sure the data supports it too!!

This will change scientist have been mistaken. At one point it was thought that our solor system traveling around galaxy was the cause of climate changes.Then the gravitational pull of Jupiter . We only been here a fraction of the time and this earth has always changed

To everyone in the comments on their denial shit today, here's the graph that shows the real issue and impact from humans. CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is keeping heat in the atmosphere for longer and longer. More CO2 means more heat all the time.

Just like a cougar.

It Fn feels like 19 outside now. Until Indiana has weather like Central America, please keep up the warming trend.

When you can't claim it's one of the hottest years on record because NASA data shows the Earth has cooled .05 degrees in the last two years so you have to zoom out to a decade to make an alarmist headline.

ClimateChangeHoax

At this point if folks need more evidence, let's just start writing the obituaries.

I'd rather it be hot then a ice age. Plants don't grow when it's cold.

Pre-2019 journalism: A prediction about the future is speculation. 2019 journalism: A prediction about the future is evidence!

That is s laugh theu are almost as corrupt as cnn

All they need is more money & they’ll fix everything, right? I’m noticing a trend....

Oh boy

The world has become hotter and ice age cold regardless of human interference for a million years.

Science doesn't work on my flat 6000 year old planet.

My gawd, the loonies are lose.

All about how you interpret things. This is NOT an exact science. And if your job depends on you saying temperatures are rising then you are at risk of operator bias.

Global temperature has gone up less than 1.5 degrees in 150 years. 1975 was colder than 1850 Serious records on weather has only existed since the 1990s. Not enough solid evidence on this to make any predictions, which is why EVERY SINGLE climate prediction has been wrong.

I know all the Democrats and leftist want to go to war with China for being the largest polluters and destroying the planet...

This isn't true... 210-220 BC, was WAAAAY warmer. I looked it up in temperature records for back then.... Oh wait....
