(3) Since 1998 the global temps have actually decreased about 0.6C. When this data could not be fit into the fudged temp models that declared man's CO2 emissions were causing global temps to irreversibly increase, then a massive cover-up ensued to suppress this information.

The concept of a trend is too difficult for you, huh?
Perhaps this really is a difficult concept for you? A quick look at wikipedia helps to put this issue into perspective:
Temperatures in 1998 were unusually warm because the strongest
El Nio in the past century occurred during that year.
[12] Global temperature is subject to short-term fluctuations that overlay long term trends and can temporarily mask them. The relative stability in temperature from 1999 to 2009 is consistent with such an episode.

Note also that there is no mention of a decrease since 1998, just an apparent stability in temperature since then.

Think about what you (and others) are claiming here. The immense pile of evidence confirms that GW and its anthropogenic causes are a reality. Do you really think it's logistically possible to orchestrate a cover up/conspiracy on such a massive scale? Where is the evidence for this? Think about the many thousands of people involved and not one legitimate whistle-blower saying "they made me fudge my statistics!". The recent email hacking provides no such evidence either, as recently pointed out by Huntard, Taz and Otto Tellick.
