BBC: What Happened to Global Warming?

From the BBC:

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

Of course, the article suggests that the "long term" trend is still up, but that is silly as well. The earth was 4-5 degrees warmer during the middle ages than it is today. And 2008 is almost 1 degree cooler than it was in 1998.
