I think the warming in at least the British climate in recent decades is
well shown by the annual CET temperature. If you look at the figures for
each decade as given on Philip Eden's site at

http://www.climate-uk.com/provisional.htm

you find:

Decade Years 10C Years 10C or above
1971-80 8 2
1081-90 7 3
1991-2000 4 6
2001-10 2 8

It's true that 2010 was an unusually cold year (mainly due to a cold
January and February and a very cold December) and that 2012 was also
cold, but that's far too small a sample to draw any conclusions from. In
any case 2011 was a very warm year, second only to 2006 since 1971.
