The world’s 10 warmest years have all occurred since 1994 in a temperature record dating back 150 years. Now as every January the UK MET Office and the University of East Anglia issue a forecast of the global surface temperature for 2007. The Climate Change experts calculated a 95% confidence range of the global forecast for a temperature between 0.38 °C to 0.70 °C above normal.

Different from last years is a moderate-strength El Niño already established in the Pacific, which is expected to persist through the first few months of 2007.
