This data from the National Statistics online shows that global warming has been accelerating in the past 7 years.

Note 2006 and 2007 were also record hot years, with 2007 being the warmest on record.

The highest temperature on record was in 2003, when the thermometer reached 38.5 degrees.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that most of the temperature increases can be attribute to man made activities, like burning of fossil fuels.

Who knows what will happen in the future, but some predictions for global warming suggest temperatures could rise by 2-3 degrees having a significant impact on the UK economy and UK society.
