According to CBC News:
High levels of greenhouse gases and the reappearance of the cyclical warming trend El Nino make it likely 2007 will go down as the world's hottest year ever recorded, British climate scientists said Thursday.
Britain's Meteorological Office said there is a 60 per cent chance the average surface temperature of the Earth will match or exceed the current record from 1998.
And if it does indeed break the historical record, how exactly will the denialists casually wave it away? Make your predictions now, and we'll check back in 12 months. The tap dancing should be entertaining.

The new high will be blamed entirely on El Nino, rather than any human activity. Then when the temperature is lower in 2008 (due to El Nino not being around), skeptics will claim that global warming is a myth. The concept of the _average_ temperature rising, once the effect of El Nino is factored out, will evade them.
Remember, rising temperatures prove nothing, but falling temperatures disprove global warming.
Global Warming and Global Climate Change are all complete BULLSHIT,... besides that, the Liberals did nothing for the 13 years
Don't worry so much, all the casual waving will cool the planet off, so no temperature increase. See? You lefties are so uptight, relax a little!
People who ingore the changes in the weather patterns have no common sense--they cover their ears and rant and rave when someone mentions global warming--"I can't here you!! I'm not listening!!" as zorpheus proved above.
I had to write a response to an identical twit--

I wrote it in my blog 'cause the twit doesn't allow comments on her articles.
Y'know, speaking of climate change, I'm having the most depressing winter ever. I got a snowboard for xmas, and I don't think I'm ever going to get to use it. It's ten. freaking. degrees. Today. In Ottawa.
What the hell?

I've been chuckling at this incoherence for a while now. Shouldn't the wingnuts be happy the inept Liberals didn't waste time addressing a problem that didn't exist?
...besides, we know where those GHG increases are coming from...Alberta.
Oh, the noise that is made when ideology runs smack-dab into science!
