So why hasn't the average GLOBAL temperature for 2007 easily beat the 1998 number?

Too short of time period to be a meaningful sample.

But than I would say the same thing for the global warming trend which preceded it. We've been warming since the end of the little Ice Age in the 1800s. That might be enough of a sample to be somewhat meaningful, but

1 - A warming trend for a century or two might not be very meaningful in the context of weather/climate that changes over periods of seconds to millions of years and beyond

and

2 - Obviously the earlier part of that warming trend has little to do with human emission of CO2.
