Global temperatures could hit record highs over the next two years

An expected major El Nino event in the pacific could significantly increase global temperatures in the next year. The last few years have been cooler than expected, although that pattern is now expected to end. Professor Rowan Sutton, from the University of Reading, said “unless there’s a big volcanic eruption, it looks very likely that globally 2014, 2015 and 2016 will be among the very warmest years ever recorded”.
