‘What’s phenomenal about this year is that some of these months
have broken records by incredible amounts. This year it was 0.8C
warmer in autumn and 0.5C warmer between April and October
than the previous warmest years. Normally these records are broken
by around one tenth of a degree or so,’ said Phil Jones, director of
the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia…
[Globally] 2006 is on track to become the sixth warmest year
since records began in 1850. The latest figures mean that the
10 warmest years ever have all occurred in the past 12 years.
Some scientists already predict a warmer year in 2007.”
