2000-2009 Marked Warmest Decade on Record
-----------------------------------------



A new scientific report has determined the last decade was the warmest
on record. The report also found that each of the last three decades has
been much warmer than the decade before. About 300 scientists from
forty-eight countries contributed to the 2009 State of the Climate
report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
2010 is already breaking temperature records. Last month was the hottest
June on record. And this year had the warmest average temperature for
January to June since record keeping began.
