Nothing abnormal here, it's the "global cooling". Take it Al Gore! (flying in your private jet) Since we do not really understand how our climate works and if human activities have/had any impact, we should just continue business as usual. People want cheap products!

This summer here in Tokyo was just HELL ON EARTH! I have never sweated so much in all my life!

I'll believe it when I see the high priests of the Global Warming Cult amend their lifestyles to be more in accordance with what they demand of the rest of us.

Quotes from above: "almost certain", "undoubtedly" and "significant possibility".

They would really, really, really like the figures to end up backing the prediction in the headline.

Hot and humid is my kind of weather. You sweat for maybe a day or too, and then you get used to it. I hope the next year is even warmer.

Agree with goddog.

Survived this summer without an aircon, just a small fan. You get used to it and it is actually better than constantly switching between hot and cold, etc.

TimR - "I'll believe it when I see the high priests of the Global Warming Cult amend their lifestyles to be more in accordance with what they demand of the rest of us."

What a ridiculous comment. So, you're waiting for a bunch of people to 'amend' their lifestyles rather than acknowledging the elephant in the room of climate change?

Really? Hell, not me. They're both unpleasant, physically, but mentally the heat kills me. I lose the will to live in August. Looking forward to the next three months, weather-wise. :)

I prefer the cold more. Can always add a few more layers. When its hot though, can only take so many off. Of course, being from the Valley of the Sun, where it routinely gets over 110 degrees in the summer, I might be a bit biased towards the cold.

lol, what, you don't think that waiting for the high priests of the eco-nut cult, who go around preaching climate-change, that everything that happens is mankinds fault, is a good idea? I mean, if they're saying all this stuff, and doing something else, then why should we listen to them? They're not following it, why should we? If they obviously don't believe the things they're saying...

Tokyo and most of Japan have the most sickening hot and humid summers I have ever seen in all my life. I was born in a desert in Mexico, sure the temperatures get well over 100 degrees F or say around 50 degrees centigrade but it is nice and DRY! This crap here on the humid islands is just as KyushuJoe says, makes people lose the will to even move or keep on living. If you all go to Mexico, Cuba, Brazil etc..at least the girls in the summer are running around almost half naked so we have some nice eye candy, but here? Please! Wearing black long sleeve so called summer sweaters? Wearing black colored clothes in the middle of summer is only for fools, at least the Okinawans know never to do this they wear nice bright colors.

Still, there is a “significant possibility 2010 could be the warmest,” Jarraud told reporters.

Still, there is a “significant possibility that the UN weather agency is making this up since they produced no data to back it up. I'd like to know which organization they paid to "create" this finding.

i used to believe in global warming a little. but the wikileaks release of the climategate papers changed my mind. climategate caused me to lose all faith in the governmental scientific-industrial complex. President Eisenhower warned us about this. He was right.
