The United Nations' weather agency, says 2010 was one of the warmest years on record, providing further evidence that the planet is slowly but surely heating up.
The World Meteorological Organization says global average temperatures last year were just over half a degree Celsius higher than the 1961-1990 period, marginally above the nominal temperature of 2005, and a little higher again over that of 1998, which were previously two of the top three warmest years on record.
Michel Jarraud, World Meterological Organization, said, "We can indeed report that 2010 is now going to rank as the warmest year on record at the same level as 2005 and 1998."
The ten warmest years after records began in 1854 have all occurred since 1998.
Rising global temperatures over the last century are causing climate experts to worry.
The Geneva-based global weather agency says that last year's extreme weather - notably the heat wave in Russia and monsoon flooding in Pakistan - has continued into the new year.
Michel Jarraud, World Meterological Organization, said, "What we can say is that with global warming some of these events will become more frequent or more intense."
The UN agency attributes the extreme weather patterns to El Nino and La Nina, which consecutively dominated the world climate in 2010, bringing warm effects and cooling effects respectively.
Apart from extreme weather conditions, the WMO also noticed further melting of Arctic sea-ice. In December 2010, ice cover around the region registered its lowest level, 1.35 million square kilometers below the 1979-2000 December average.

CSIRO's Climate Adaptation National Research Flagship is developing adaptation responses to counter the expected damaging effects of climate change. It will analyse future climate changes in Australia, deliver strategies to manage their impact, and build on new ways to combat and even benefit from these challenges.
This film gives an overview of the research issues the Flagship is working on, and includes interviews with:
• Ian McLelland, Birchip Cropping Group
• Ken Thompson, NSW Fire Brigade
• Geoff Withycombe, Sydney Coastal Councils Group
• Sam Mostyn, Insurance Australia Group

Population growth is the expanding elephant in the living room of environmental and social ruin, but few are honest about it. Religious/anthropocentric denial of this problem is increasingly dangerous. Today's biggest headlines, including climate change and oil wars, are driven by human numbers more than anything. Crowd size amplifies crowd behavior.
Decades after "alarmist" predictions were partially delayed with technology, population growth and its champions are still plundering the foundations of life and calling it progress. More people demand more land and resources each day. Oil has perpetuated an illusion of plenty amongst widespread scarcity.
Thomas Malthus, superficially discredited by growth pushers, was never lacking for logic. Biological limits have only been stretched temporarily by fossil fuels, with diminishing returns. In a finite world there is no escape from ourselves. Billions cannot be shipped to other planets to avoid the crush.
If everyone had their priorities straight (survival first, luxuries second) overpopulation would make daily headlines, rather than surface issues like money, politics and the obsession with job-creation; as if nature can divide equal wealth among more and more takers.
If carrying capacity isn't respected, vast numbers of people will be working simply to survive while fending off anarchy. It's already happening, just maybe not in your neighborhood.
