Keeping quiet on climate

Official data from the UK Met Office's "HadCRUT3" data set shows there has been no global warming since 1998. As this is the government's own source of information, used when the temperature was going up, why is it disregarded when the temperature is going down?

At the same time, density is up from 368ppmv to 384ppmv – further proof density has little to do with climate. Perhaps Gordon Brown knows something the Met Office does not.
