The year started out very warm, but finished very cold setting numerous record low temps in November and December.The average of monthly global mean temperatures for 2007 makes it the hottest year. You can spin it anyway you like but the following NASA/NOAA data tells the story: Nov/Dec 2007 were only moderately cooler than the seven year average for the 2000s but they were significantly lower than those same months in 2003.

However I do seriously hope that it does continues long term.Here is a link to an opposing view:<How can there be an opposing view? Either disprove the 2007 temperature data or lets change the subject.
I did that several times. Even 1998 was not the warmest year - that honor goes to 1934.
Seveal sources suggest that 2007 was the coolest year in this century.Once again, you have chosen a suspect data source. I'm not certain why, but NASA has been highly suspect in generating data to support the Global Warming Hoax. The fact that they have had to revise their data several times should tell you something.
