2007 to be 'warmest on record'

Sure it is. When have these weather-perdicting people been wrong, except for the 2006 hurricane season, and the winter, and the previous summer, and almost on a daily basis. Even with Dopler 1,000,000 they have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.

An extended warming period, resulting from an El Nino weather event in the Pacific Ocean, will probably push up global temperatures, experts forecast.

But then again, probably not.

They say there is a 60% chance that the average surface temperature will match or exceed the current record from 1998.

60%? Well, that proves it. Listen, bother me about the weather when you're about 80% sure. That way I can laugh even harder when you're wrong.
