Report: Global Temperature Has Not Risen Since 1998

More evidence that man-made catastrophic global warming is a myth:

The World Meteorological Organization's secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, told the BBC it was likely that La Nina would continue into the summer.

This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory.

But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend - and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.

The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74C.

Less than a degree in 100 years? That's what all the fuss is about?

Note that the hysterics have taken a new tactic: because temperatures can be measured, they have begun spouting the ultimate slogan for confirmation bias. It isn't hot weather that proves global warming; it's extreme weather. This way, whenever someone notices extreme weather, the cause is global warming.
