A tiny minority of scientists question whether this means global warming
has peaked and the earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse
gases than predicted.
But Mr Jarraud insisted this was not the case and noted that 1998
temperatures would still be well above average for the century.
"When you look at climate change you should not look at any
particular year," he said. "You should look at trends over a pretty
long period and the trend of temperature globally is still very much
indicative of warming."
"La Nina is part of what we call 'variability'. There has always
been and there will always be cooler and warmer years, but what is
im****tant for climate change is that the trend is up."
Experts at the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre for forecasting in
Exeter said the world could expect another record temperature within
five years or less, probably associated with another episode of El
Nino.
