Since 1993, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has been issuing its annual “WMO Statement on the Status of the Global Climate”, which has become an authoritative regular source of information, eagerly sought by the scientific community and the media. The present Statement is the latest addition to this successful series, and a key result is that the period 2000–2009 was the warmest decade on record since the beginning of modern instrumental measurements around 1850.
