Global temperature data and graph

Here is an interesting site, well, maybe if you're a geek anyway. It does have a cool graph though (see below, you can click on it for a larger version). At any rate, the key is at the very end. Notice how it looks like the global warming trend appears to have ended and now, even though the average temperatures are higher than the baseline, they're trending down. Of course, if global warming theories are correct, this is only temporary and we'll see the warming trend resume soon. On the other hand, if the recent rise in temperatures prior to ~1997 was an anomaly, we'll see cooling continue for awhile. Either way, it's a bit early to tell one way or the other. For that reason, now is not the time to spend gazillions of dollars trying to fix something we don't even understand just because someone cries wolf.
