This year is set to be the 10th warmest on record, say meteorologists. Climate researchers in the UK said that temperatures in 2011 were nearing the top of records dating back to 1850. This despite a 'strong and persistent' La Nina weather system in the Pacific - an effect which should lead to lower temperatures across the world. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released the figures based on three sets of independent data, including a joint one from the University of East Anglia (UAE) - currently mired in controversy - and the Met Office, at a climate change conference in Durban this week. However, only last week researchers at UAE were criticised for colluding with politicians to ‘massage’ evidence of man-made climate change after 5,000 emails were leaked online. The WMO released the figures as 200 nations meet in Durban, South Africa, for the latest UN talks on agreeing a deal to tackle climate change. The organisation, whose data also includes figures from the US, put the global average temperature at 0.41C above the 1961 to 1990 average of 14C, making it the 10th warmest on record. According to the WMO, the 13 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 15 years between 1997 and 2011. The Met Office/UAE also suggested a long-term warming trend in the global climate. Their data shows the average global temperature for January to October 2011 was 14.36C, 0.36C above the 1961 to 1990 long-term average of 14C. The WMO's final figure is an average of the three sets of data. According to their researchers, each decade since the 1950s has been warmer than the previous decade, and last year was one of the warmest on record. (Read by Nelly Min.

氣象學家說，今年將是有史以來第十個最熱年。 英國氣候研究員說，2011年的氣溫將逼近1850年來的最高紀錄。 盡管太平洋發生的“猛烈、持續性”的拉尼娜氣候現象使世界范圍內出現降溫，但還是難撼今年的熱度。 世界氣象組織本周在南非德班氣候大會上公布了這份報告，基于三組獨立的數據得出，包括目前身陷糾紛的東安格利亞大學和英國氣象局聯合得出的數據。 就在上周，5000封電子郵件在網上被泄露后，東安格利亞大學的研究人員因為和政界人士串通竄改人為導致氣候變化的證據而遭到批評。 世界氣象組織在有200個國家參加的南非德班氣候大會上發布了這些數據。這次大會是聯合國為達成應對氣候變化的協議召開的最新會談。 世界氣象組織的數據還包括來自美國的數據，今年的全球平均氣溫比1961年至1990年的全球平均氣溫（14攝氏度）高出0.41攝氏度，成為了有史以來第十個最熱年。 世界氣象組織的數據顯示，記錄在案的13個最熱年都是在1997年到2011年的15年間發生的。 世界氣象組織和東安格利亞大學還指出，全球氣候將呈現長期變暖的趨勢。 他們的數據顯示，2011年1月至10月的全球平均氣溫為14.36攝氏度，比1961年至1990年14攝氏度的平均氣溫高出0.36攝氏度。 世界氣象組織的最終數據是這三組數據的平均值。 他們的研究人員稱，自20世紀50年代以來的每個十年都比前一個十年要熱，去年是記錄在案的最熱年之一。 相關閱讀 （中國日報英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：Julie） |
