Global warming my arse - put another log on
Climate experts are forecasting a drop in global temperatures this year.
But the world is also facing more dramatic rain storm events such as the flooding which hit Britain last summer, scientists warn.
The flooding that hit Britain last summer may happen more frequently
Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organisation, said temperatures in 2008 are likely to be cooler because of the effects of the La Nina in the central and eastern Pacific.
He said it was likely that the La Nina phenomenon would continue into the summer. If his forecast is right it would mean temperatures have not risen globally since 1998 when El Nino warmed the world.
Nogger - I expect that the Polar ice caps will be pleased to hear this, has anyone got their phone number?
