	CNN.com - Extreme weather on the rise - Jul. 3, 2003
		A study released Wednesday by the WMO -- a specialized climate science agency of the United Nations -- says the world is experiencing record numbers of extreme weather events, such as droughts and tornadoes.
		Citing examples, the WMO said the 562 tornadoes which hit the United States in May this year was a record -- far higher than the previous monthly peak of 399 in June 1992.
		The WMO said new analysis of data for the northern hemisphere showed the increase in temperature in the 20th century was likely to have been the largest in any century during the past 1,000 years.

		Better services will be required from WMO and the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to anticipate, avert and minimise the impacts of extreme events, desertification and other threats to human safety and security and to the global environment, including climate change, ozone depletion and increased pollution.
		A primary focus is on improved observation and prediction of the state of the earth's atmosphere and water, their interaction with one another and with other earth systems and on early warnings.
		WMO says that it will pursue its efforts in improved monitoring and the development of better climate models to reduce uncertainty in climate projection in order to assist in successful adaptation and enable sound political and economic policies to be implemented at the national and international levels.

		The WMO report notes that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect, the cause of climate change, are interconnected through shared chemical and physical processes.
		In the 1999-2000 season, characterised by the WMO as "an unusually and persistently cold Arctic stratospheric winter", ozone depletion was significant.

	On Lisa Rein's Radar: This Just In From The World Meteorological Organisation: Global Warming Is Real
		In a startling report, the WMO, which normally produces detailed scientific reports and staid statistics at the year's end, highlighted record extremes in weather and climate occurring all over the world in recent weeks, from Switzerland's hottest-ever June to a record month for tornadoes in the United States - and linked them to climate change.
		The unprecedented warning takes its force and significance from the fact that it is not coming from Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth, but from an impeccably respected UN organisation that is not given to hyperbole (though environmentalists will seize on it to claim that the direst warnings of climate change are being borne out).
		The WMO said: "These record extreme events (high temperatures, low temperatures and high rainfall amounts and droughts) all go into calculating the monthly and annual averages, which, for temperatures, have been gradually increasing over the past 100 years.
