So, again, there are even more factors to consider and we DON'T have all the answers.

I quite agree- unfortunately the source data for 1999-2001 has been redacted by NOAA.

While we do not have all the information, we do know that last year and by projections this year are back to the 1900-2000 mean. No'global warming' here. We do know that total sea ice area remains unchanged over the last thirty years per NASA reports and we do know that sea levels have not been rising at a rate above previous centuries. The question remains, "How long will we continue to listen to special interest groups and ignore the scientific data?"
BTW, Saratogaman I am still waiting for some data supporting your beliefs. I have provided a great deal of data supporting skepticism, but have seen no data that justifies the religious fervor of the climate change believers. Please spare us rants from Al Gore, the Island nations, etc. Just give us the data.
