"ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2007) — The decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record, according to data sources obtained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)."

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.
"Many people have the impression that there is significant scientific disagreement about global climate change. It's time to lay that misapprehension to rest. There is a scientific consensus on the fact that Earth's climate is heating up and human activities are part of the reason."
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!
Please tell us when the arctic was not cold, with credible links.
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.
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".
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.

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.
