Worden 2014 en 2015 de warmste jaren ‘on record’?
Dat zou best eens kunnen, meent men bij Bits of Science. En het heeft allemaal te maken met El Niño:
And that, to go short, is statistically the most logical thing to expect if the approaching El Niño would reach at least moderate strength (as forecast) – and continu through the second half of the year (as most models indicate): the average global temperature will be lifted enough for a new global record in 2014 (as anything close to +0.05C would likely do that trick) and 2015 is then likely to immediately break that record and become even hotter – caused by delayed El Niño effects, and of course an ever-rising temperature trend, in line with ever-rising atmospheric CO2-concentrations.
