UPDATE DEC 19, 2000
U.N. Agency: World Still Gripped by Warming Trend
GENEVA (Reuters) - The warming trend that has gripped
our climate for the past 20 years will make 2000 one of the hottest years
since 1860, despite La Nina's cooling effect on the tropical Pacific and
other anomalies, the United Nations weather agency said Tuesday.
This year will be the fifth or sixth warmest since
1860, the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) said. Eight of the
10 warmest years in the 140-year period have occurred since 1990 and 1998,
when the El Nino current warmed the Pacific, was the hottest on record.
