That's interesting considering NASA satellite records show that from 1968 - 1998 the world's temperature raised one degree and from 1999 to 2008 it dropped one degree.

Again, no credibility.
Oh my, you are getting your scientific information from Washington Post...this is really sad. Why don't you read Science News or better yet speak to a Geologist and educated yourself. Really need to expand your resources!

Links?

The most obvious example is that the poles are thought to have been warm during part of the Cretaceous. There were actually reptiles living in the arctic circle.

Wasn't that a while back? I'd still like to see a link.

Do you have a link to that data, that I could use?

NOAA data only had a decline in global temperatures from 2005-present.

To repeat my previous posting of stats:

1998 0.5969
1999 0.4198
2000 0.3885
2001 0.5188
2002 0.5738
2003 0.5811
2004 0.5409
2005 0.6128
2006 0.5599
2007 0.5459
2008 0.4793

Even if we switch to Fahrenheit, which is fine because Celsius is as unscientifically arbitrary, and we assume you mean 1998 to 2008, the change was only a bit more than three tenths of one degree of "cooling".

And it rose, in between, peaking in 2005.

Here, on the left, is NOAA’s global mean temp for each of the past 10 years. They measure this in ten thousandths of one degree from the 100 year average:
In this chart, using NOAA Climatologist data with clearer formatting, you can see that we are in a four year cooling trend, right now. Also notice that this entire chart encompasses barely more than one half of one degree. Click to zoom in for fine detail.

1998 0.5969
1999 0.4198
2000 0.3885
2001 0.5188
2002 0.5738
2003 0.5811
2004 0.5409
2005 0.6128
2006 0.5599
2007 0.5459
2008 0.4793

YEA, Edumacation and East Anglia are interesting words to put in the same paragraph.

East Anglia (the sourse of the sourse you link to, "LOST"all the data they used to make these statements.

When asked by other scientests to provide the raw data they used for their calculations, the first response was "why would we give you our data when all you will do is try to refute our work? followed by "Oh we lost it."


You might want to get a better grip on your sources.
