My source is in the original post in this thread. The article notes that NASA has 2005 as the warmest on record but the UK Hadley center has 1998 as the warmest on record.
They also note that they have the last decade as the warmest on record. The import point there is that we know that the Earth has been warmer in the past than it is today. Saying "the warmest on record" gives credence to the argument for GW, until you find out that "the record" is only a few decades worth of data and our planet is several billion years old.
