Clippo posted a link to an informal paper a few days ago in which three of the most authoritative datasets showed a slight warming trend even since 1998, a year which was of course affected by one of the strongest El Ninos we have on record.
At the beginning of this year it was reported that the 2007 had become the second-warmest year on record - even despite a moderate La Nina at the end of the year, which has continued in to this year - and yet it was reported by Time that March this year was the warmest on record.
These are statistically insignificant timeframes - a mere decade in one case and an even meerer month in another - but even so, the claim of global cooling just isn't true, despite the unusually cold start to this year; just as we could have temperatures of twenty degrees Celsius, almost six above the norm, for a month from tomorrow, or even for several years, but that would not be indicative of global warming unless it was maintained on a longer timescale.
