A collection of links debunking the Global Cooling myth
What Bob Carter and Andrew Bolt fail to grasp:”... most of the extra solar energy trapped by the Earth’s slightly thicker blanket of greenhouse gases has not gone into raising air temperatures. It’s poured into the vast oceans (which contain about hundreds of times the volume of the atmosphere) … Indeed, it has been shown that about 90% of this additional energy has be used to heat water and about 7% to melt ice. Only about 3% is left over to warm the air. So we shouldn’t be at all surprised if air temperatures show the weakest response to the enhanced greenhouse effect - at least in the short term.”
Yes, the planet has kept warming since 1998
Yes, the data show the planet STILL keeps warming

If we look at the trend http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhshgl.gif http://www.manchesterismyplanet.com/pictures/global%20temperature%20and%20co2%20levels_400x10000(1).jpg
Every peak is followed by a cooler period. Each peak is hotter than the previous one, and each 'cool' period is hotter than the previous cool period.
By focusing on the cool periods and/or only the preceding hottest years one can argue that climate change stopped in 1973, 1983, and 1990 as well as 1998

Most bizarre Denier claim: "Global warming stopped in 1998″. By the same logic it also stopped in 1973, 1983, and 1990 http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhshgl.gif (only it didn't). http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/12/2006-year-in-review/
