UK Met Office Data
The Met Office Hadley Centre and the University of East Anglia have today released preliminary global temperature figures for 2007. The provisional global figure, using data from January to November, currently places 2007 as the seventh warmest on record since 1850.

The global annual temperature − for combined land and ocean surfaces – for 2007 is expected to be near 58.0 F – and would be the fifth warmest since records began in 1880.

Will 2007 be the hottest year on record? -
Based on preliminary data, the globally averaged combined land and sea surface temperature was the sixth warmest on record for October and the third warmest on record for January-October year-to-date period. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/2007/oct/global.html
Will 2007 be the hottest year on record? -
No it doesn’t, but dropping the writ between now and Dec 24th would result in a campaign over the holidays and that is particularly unlikely – but even less likely (and virtually impossible) is the writ being dropped between Dec 26 and Dec 31. I suppose there is a remote possibilty but the Libs are in no shape to fight an election and neither the Libs or the Tories will want to fight one with the “you called an unneccesary election over Christmas” albatros around their necks.
In which quarter of 2007 will an election be called in Canada? -
With only 33 days between now (Nov 21) and Christmas Eve and a typical election period of approx 6 or 7 weeks, it is unlikely that the writ will be dropped between now and year’s end as this would in all liklihood need to occur prior to Christmas and result in a campaign over the holidays. Martin tried this and was punished for it and, given the mood of the electorate, the party that forces an election between now and year’s end would start from a serious disadvantage give the widespread disgruntlement it would create.
