ClickGreen, 20 January 2012
A team of NASA scientists have warned an upswing in solar activity combined with the next El Niño will trigger record global temperatures over the next three years.
The stark forecast was provided as researchers confirm global average surface temperature in 2011 was the ninth warmest since 1880. The finding continues a trend in which nine of the 10 warmest years in the modern meteorological record have occurred since the year 2000.
