Either all the data from 3rd world countries a commie nations is being purposely faked to try and extort money from the west.
or
The environmental nut-jobs are purposely altering the data to get the results they want to forward their agenda.
Because anywhere and everywhere that the data can be collaborated shows that things have been getting MUCH colder for over a decade now.

Apparently, a lot of that heat came from Canada: http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2011/01/12/environment-2010-climate-hottest-warmest-year.html. We didnt set any records in my region of Canada, but certainly it has been above average in others.
I have been curious about where UKs 2010 ranked and had to do a lot of digging on the Mets web site to finally find this story in the archives:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/releases/archive/2011/cold-dec
If you plod through almost to the end of the 2010 stats you find: In 2010 the UK recorded a provisional mean temperature of 8.0 °C, making it the 12th coldest year in the series, that goes back to 1910.
I was annoyed to discover that the above was not linked in their 2010 archive section (I mean I REALLY had to dig to find this). In the archive section they are still highlighting this gem: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/pressoffice/2010/pr20101202b.html
Remember this: The preliminary figure for January to October 2010 is 0.52 °C above the long-term average on the Met Office Climatic Research Unit (HadCRUT3) dataset, placing it equal with the record-breaking 1998.
The average person looking for 2010 stats will easily find this release, which omits data from rest of 2010, while the complete annual statistics are hidden elsewhere. Seems apparent this is an intentional effort to mislead the public.
