The forecast for the winter: abnormally warm.

The forecast for 2007: a record breaker.

That's the prognosis, for the Northern Hemisphere anyway, according to USA Today, as the calendar year inches toward a close.

If the forecast for a warm winter holds, then 2007 will go down as the warmest ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere, another indication that global warming isn't an issue to be discussed in the future tense, but the present tense.
