The World Meteorological Organization has recently uncovered new evidence showing that, despite fluctuations in global temperature year to year that fueled claims of global cooling, a sustained global warming trend is showing no signs of ending. Dating back 150 years, the decade of the 2000's is likely the warmest decade on record. The secretary general of the international weather agency, Michel Jarraud, commented how the period of 2000 to 2009 has been "warmer than the 1990s, which were warmer than the 1980s and so on".
Global warming is one of the most complicated issues that world leaders are facing. Despite an increase in warnings from the scientific community about the increasing dangers of rising buildup from human-related greenhouse gases, coming mostly from the burning of fossil fuels and forests, technological issues concerning the resolution of these problems have become no less complicated themselves, especially in the face of the current economic slowdown.
