There have been several ways of measuring global temperatures, and in ONE of them the warmest year on record was 1998. It is not so much the "correct" data as it is one of several different methodologies. So to claim that one set of data is falsified is, well, false.
In a similar vein, I would love to know the name of said famous climatologist who has had his research rejected because people don't like the results, as well as the rejection letters for said research. It is very easy to claim that one's research was rejected for political reasons, as opposed to simply being shoddy research.
