Another record we don’t want

The meterologists reckon this year will be even hotter than the world’s last record year:

The scorching predictions for 2007 are due partly to global warming and partly to a moderate El Niño event. … The previous hottest year, 1998, was also a strong El Niño year with a global average temperature of 14.52C. The Met Office is predicting that this year will be 0.02 degrees higher.

That comes with confirmation that 2006 was an all-time record year for Britain, “average temperature of 9.7C – 1.1 degrees celsius above average”.
