Report Says the Last Five Years Were the Hottest on Record

Description

According to a report released by the World Meteorological Organization Wednesday, because of human-caused global warming and a strong El Niño, Earth's wild weather this year is bursting the annual heat record. The United Nations weather agency added that the period of time from 2011 to 2015 is also the hottest five-year period ever recorded. The bird report on 2015 says it is the hottest year on record, surpassing last year's record heat. It made the proclamation without waiting for the end of the year because it has been so extraordinarily hot, and it's forecast to stay that way and unlikely cool down enough to not set a record. The agency's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, said in a statement, "This is all bad news for the planet."
