Instrument Readings -- Land Weather Stations and Satellite Shows this is the HOTTEST decade in the history of instrumentation temperature readings -- since 1880 for land stations, since the last 30 years for satellite temperature recording.

Here are the weather station temperature data == per NASA

PS:
There was an El Nino in 1998 causing a large hot spike. There was one relatively cool year in 2008 due to a La Nina. The decade of 2000 was still the hottest decade on record since weather instrumentation records (going back to 1880) and satellite records -- both UAH and RSS (going back 30 years).
Not only that the last April and may 2010 were the hottest months EVER recorded going back to 1880
The monthly analysis from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, which is based on records going back to 1880, is part of the suite of climate services NOAA provides government, business and community leaders so they can make informed decisions.
* The combined global land and ocean surface temperature for May was the warmest on record, at 1.24°F (0.69°C) above the 20th century average of 58.6°F (14.8°C).
* The global land surface temperature for May was 1.87°F (1.04°C) above the 20th century average of 52.0°F (11.1°C) - the warmest on record.
* The May worldwide ocean temperature was the second warmest on record, behind 1998. The temperature anomaly was 0.99°F (0.55°C) above the 20th century average of 61.3°F (16.3°C).
* Warm temperatures were present over most of the globe's land areas. The warmest temperature anomalies occurred in eastern North America, eastern Brazil, Eastern Europe, southern Asia, eastern Russia, and equatorial Africa. The Chinese province of Yunnan had its warmest May since 1951. Numerous locations in Ontario, Canada had their warmest May on record. >>

Here is the satellite data
look at the UAH dataset in the same Dr Spencer page. Scroll down to the end and read the global trend: 0.14 �C/decade. RSS gives 0.153 �C/decade.
