The whole idea of "global warming" is that the earth is "warming up"
Apparently, despite the fact that we continue to pour enormous amounts of CO2 into the air, global temperatures have not risen since 1998. Which was, infact, as you pointed out, the warmest on record. And we may very well be experiencing the warmest decade on record,, but if global warming is real, and is being caused by greenhouse gasses, then why haven't they been increasing steadily since the 1940's, which was when WWII happened, and the economic boom that came shortly after? There is no correlation there.
Also, and this is taken directly from the link you provided:

The UK’s top 10 warmest years on record (in order) are 2006, 2007, 2003, 2004, 2002, 2005, 1990, 1997, 1949 and 1999
Why is 1999 the warmest of the ten, and 1949 is the second warmest (and that's giving the website the benefit of the doubt, by assuming that the coldest of the top ten was first), when the temperature graph from NASA clearly states that 1999 was significantly cooler (roughly .3 degrees Celsius, in fact) than not only 1998, but also '01, '02, '03, '04, and '05, and 1949 was cooler than every year succeeding 1957? When compared against the global average, of course.
Though I suppose that the UK's average temperature could be significantly warmer than the world's average on occasion. It's not entirely impossible. It's just that according to the data provided by the website, that kinda thing seems to happen more than just occasionally. Despite the fact that the UK tends to have fairly cool temperatures,
This may be the warmest decade on record, bu the point still stands that 1998 has continued to be quite a bit warmer than every year we've had since, not to mention that global temperatures have not increased in the last decade, despite the continuing increase in CO2 emissions.
