According to the UN climate agency, 2013 was as hot as 2007.The World Meteorological Organization has examined the three main records of temperatures of the Earth's surface, which are compiled by the met Office of the United Kingdom, by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States and NASA, says the Guardian. According to the data analyzed, the average temperature of 2013 was 0.5° C above the mean temperatures of the period between 1961-1990.2010 was the hottest year ever and about 13 of the 14 hottest years ever recorded occurred in the 21st century. Some regions of the globe have experienced extremely hot temperatures last year, notably Australia, which faced the hottest year ever."The global temperature of 2013 is consistent with the long-term heating trend. The rate of heating is not uniform, but the underlying trend is undeniable. Given the record levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, global temperatures will continue to increase over the coming generations, "said the Secretary General of the Meteorological Agency, Michael Jarraud.Foto:  Elsie esq / Creative Commons
