The United Nations annual conference on climate change has opened in the Mexican resort city of Cancun.

President Felipe Calderon of Mexico, whose country is hosting the conference, also appealed for common purpose.

"Climate change is already a reality for us," he told delegates.

Global weather records show 2010 has been the hottest year the world has experienced since 2005 and is likely to finish as the third hottest since records began.

The manager of climate monitoring at the National Climate Centre, Dr Karl Braganza, says it has been a year of extremes.

The WMO has released its report to coincide with UN climate talks in Mexico.

The world's governments have approved a modest plan to combat climate change, including a new "Green Climate Fund" to help poor nations, after sidelining objections by Bolivia.

The deal, reached at extended overnight talks, comprises the Green Climate Fund, measures to protect tropical forests and ways to share clean energy technologies.

It also reaffirms a goal of raising an annual $100 billion in aid for poor countries by 2020.

Ms Espinosa banged down her gavel on the deal despite objections by Bolivia, which said the plan demanded too little of developed nations in cutting greenhouse gases.

Sorry guys but thats just given the Green light , no pun intended, to this useless Government to go ahead and impose a tax on nothing. It will do no good but irrevocable harm to our people and industries whilst paying countries that pollute 10 to 100 times worse than us to continue to do so. Its a joke of the worst kind and a money spinner for Government and Business who will now cash in at our expense.
