The UK’s 10 hottest years in records stretching back to the 19th century have all occurred since 2002, the Met Office has said. Analysis of temperature records which have been extended back to 1884 also reveals that none of the 10 coldest years have occurred since 1963, showing how the climate is warming. In the Met Office’s latest annual state of the climate report, the temperature series for the UK has been extended back by 26 years from 1910, as the data was added as part of ongoing work to digitise historic weather records. Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the Met Office’s national climate inform ..read more

There has been an increased rise in the attention given to the environment and the damage carried out by businesses in recent years.
