the UN's World Meteorological Organization

2017 is on track to be the hottest year on record except for two warmed by El Ninos, the UN's World Meteorological Organization said Monday at UN climate talks in Bonn.

Even if the cyclical weather events -- which bump up global temperatures every three to seven years -- are included, this year will still be one of the three warmest ever, the WMO said in its annual State of the Global Climate report
