Climate change: 2021 will be cooler but still in top six warmest
Next year will be slightly cooler thanks to La Niña, but will still be one of the hottest on record. …
“The global temperature for 2021 is unlikely to be a record year due to the influence of the current La Niña, but it will be far warmer than other past La Niña years such as 2011 and 2000 due to global warming,” said Prof Adam Scaife, head of long-range prediction at the Met Office.
