"When I read that that NOAA said the US hadn't been warming in the century before 1989 "
The way I figure it, the US started down the road to Idiocracy in 1989, when you stopped reading.

Whither U.S. Climate?
By James Hansen, Reto Ruedy, Jay Glascoe and Makiko Sato — August 1999

"Up the last 20 years", a trend which started 10 years before you quit reading, and which why I always have to remind you that they said, "up the last 20 years". 1998 was a record warm year. Here's something you missed by not reading. Pay close attention to:
"Since 1895, the CONUS has observed a long-term temperature increase of about 0.13°F per decade"

In 2012, the contiguous United States (CONUS) average annual temperature of 55.3°F was 3.2°F above the 20th century average, and was the warmest year in the 1895-2012 period of record for the nation. The 2012 annual temperature was 1.0°F warmer than the previous record warm year of 1998. Since 1895, the CONUS has observed a long-term temperature increase of about 0.13°F per decade. Precipitation averaged across the CONUS in 2012 was 26.57 inches, which is 2.57 inches below the 20th century average. Precipitation totals in 2012 ranked as the 15th driest year on record. Over the 118-year period of record, precipitation across the CONUS has increased at a rate of about 0.16 inch per decade.
