The head of the World Meteorological Organization, a United Nations weather agency, said Tuesday that the past ten years will “very likely” turn out to be the warmest decade on record going back to 1850.

Michel Jarraud, the WMO’s secretary general, added that 2009 will likely be about the fifth-warmest year on record.

The WMO released its findings on the second day of the Copenhagen climate conference.

Delegates at the 192-nation conference, which opened Monday, are trying to reach a new agreement on controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

Oh no, not the word “warm” !
