Ottawa (UPI) Dec 2, 2010 This year is expected to be one of the three warmest years worldwide since the collection of climate data began, and Canada says it could be its hottest ever. The U.N.

The WMO said Canada also had its warmest spring on record as well as its driest winter ever, citing as an example the poor snow conditions at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
