After the spur of El Nino fades, global temperatures are likely to be slightly cooler in 2017, said Myles Allen, a climate expert at Oxford University.

He predicts any drop will revive doubters’ claims of an end to warming.

“I bet you in a few years’ time they will say global warming stopped in 2015 or 2016,” Allen, who is not a skeptic and is senior author of UN climate reports, said.
