Well, no. As Media Matters noted, British meteorological experts and researchers point out that “[t]emperatures are continuing to rise” and states that “[a] simple mathematical calculation of the temperature change over the latest decade (1998-2007) alone shows a continued warming of 0.1° C per decade.” Further, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies reports that “[t]he eight warmest years in the [global] GISS record have all occurred since 1998, and the 14 warmest years in the record have all occurred since 1990.”
