Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero).

You mean this University of East Anglia?
That graph on their front page looks to be going up. (edit: Burninator posted it  )
Another article (same site linked from the graph)
Quote:
Analyses of over 400 proxy climate series (from trees, corals, ice cores and historical records) show that the 1990s is the warmest decade of the millennium and the 20th century the warmest century. The warmest year of the millennium was likely 1998, and the coldest was probably (but with much greater uncertainty) 1601.
The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change in its most recent report stated: 'most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.'
