In 2008, all of the temperature data sets showed that global warming rates over the last decade were “much less” than the prior decades.

Observations indicate that global temperature rise has slowed in the last decade (Fig. 2.8a). The  least squares trend for January  1999 to December 2008  calculated from the HadCRUT3  dataset (Brohan et al. 2006) is  +0.07±0.07°C decade – much  less than the 0.18°C decade –  recorded between 1979 and 2005 and the 0.2°C decade–1  expected in the next decade  (IPCC; Solomon et al. 2007).  This is despite a steady increase  in radiative forcing as a result  of human activities and has led  some to question climate predictions  of substantial twenty-first  century warming (Lawson 2008;  Carter 2008).

NOAA graphs showed no temperature rise after 1998.

This didn’t suit the requirements of the White House ahead of Paris, so NOAA simply inverted reality, massively tampered with the data, and announced that…
