Next year is set to be one of the top-five warmest on record, British climate scientists said on Tuesday.
The average global temperature for 2009 is expected to be more than 0.4 degrees celsius above the long-term average, despite the continued cooling of huge areas of the Pacific Ocean, a phenomenon known as La Nina.
That would make it the warmest year since 2005, according to researchers at the Met Office, who say there is also a growing probability of record temperatures after next year.
Currently the warmest year on record is 1998, which saw average temperatures of 14.52 degrees celsius - well above the 1961-1990 long-term average of 14 degrees celsius.

How does a prediction about what the weather will be for a full year become fact?!

They cannot predict the weather a day in advance. How are they going to predict it a year in advance. These people are absolutely crazy.

Sorry but the key is “on record”. We didn’t keep data 100,000 years ago and until someone can explain to me how cold blooded reptiles (dinosaurs) survied as far nother as Canada then there is no way in h#ll that the past few years have been the warmest!

>>>>>Next year is set to be one of the top-five warmest on record.. The record goes back 150 years, maybe. Liberal wacko absurdity.

“Currently the warmest year on record is 1998, “
Huh? I thought that was corrected to sometime in the 1930s
