The year 2007 could be the hottest in the annals

Reuters wrote:The year 2007 is set to become one of the hottest worlds ever recorded by statistics due to global warming and the weather phenomenon El Nino, announced the British Meteorological Office.

According to the Met Office, a combination of different factors will likely cause average temperatures to rise above the previous high of 2007 in 1998, while 2006 is expected to be the sixth warmest year on Earth.

"This new information is yet another warning that climate change is indeed taking place across the world," said Katie Hopkins, Office scientist.

The world has had its ten warmest years since 1994, based on a century and a half of temperature readings, the UN climate agency said.

The UK Office publishes its global weather forecast every January in partnership with the University of East Anglia. He expects temperatures to exceed this year's 0,54 degree Celsius long-term average of 1961-1990, which is 14 degrees.

The Met Office estimated in a statement that there was a 60% chance that 2007 would be at least as hot as 1998, when temperatures were already 0,52 degrees above the long-term average.

Most scientists agree that the climate will be two to six degrees warmer this century, mainly because of carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels for electricity generation. or transport.

The Met Office added that the El Nino phenomenon, a warming of the Pacific Ocean that disrupts the global climate, would continue to affect sea-surface temperatures during the first months of 2007.

Ah well bravo .... it's been 4 days since she started and she "could" already be the hottest ... : Shock:

It might be more "credible" to speak current facts ie the high temperatures of the current winter ... but well should not panic crowds ...

The 2 Quebecois that I know (including André) hallucinate downright the ... It's unheard of ...

I "can not wait" to see the average temperature of this winter in the Northern Hemisphere ...

By the way, does anyone have any idea of ​​the difference in average temperatures over the winter / summer periods in the 2 hemisphere?

It's "just" a matter of comparing these delta to the "future" warming ...

Hello,

If you go on the site Weather medias of quebec it gives the average values ​​of the temperature taken on X years back for each days and make a comparison with the current day following the city considered

Currently it is + 8 and this morning + 2 the normal average for this day this day would be -4 a -8
The weather forecast for Saturday + 10
he fell a snow 10cm the day after Christmas and a few 3cm here and there, even not enough to pull out the shovel, the land is on plowing and rivierre are not frozen,
Normally at the beginning of January the temperature goes down during 8 days to -20 and more. the whole thing then it softened at -4 and it walks -2 a -15 It make the ice bridges so that the cars and camiom cross the rivierre Richelieu, if it is not done in the month of January, it does not These bridges are operational until mid-March.
Usually we do not see the cow fences in the fields, nor my picnic table.
In appearance it will become economical on heating
But if there is no ice cover it will be a great evaporation of water.
I think the ice breezes on the St. Lawrence waterway will not have much to do this winter ..
the tourist industry cold (Chalet in the north ballad sledding and snowmobiling must conceller certain lake, the ice is not safe enough or there are water holes.
The main customers are tourists from France, Switzerland, Belgium.
To say that at the beginning of the century the trains passed on the ice of the St. Lawrence River.
Or is the time when we rolled in a corridor of snow, now we can slip into the ditches, this is one of the reasons that between the highways here there is a big ditch, the fure and the measure of the falls of niege the plows pushes it in these ditches and at the end of winter there are ramparts on each side of the road, It had a safe side these ramparts of snow, now you slip into the ditch ..

First snow they came out the machinery it is necessary that they practice before the storm
