But I'm not a scientist and could be wrong. Laymen interpreting scientific data is what manufactured the Climategate outrage in the first place. What is undisputed is that
the decade 2000 - 2009 is the warmest on record.

Nope you are misinterpeting the data. It is the difference in temperature by year using the mean temperature from 1901-2000 as a reference. As to your claim that it is the warmest decade on record; it depends on whose thermometers you use.
