Tantalising stuff, dave. Clearly there has been some short-term cooling during
the past decade but only time will tell whether or not this persists long enough
to be picked up by the longer-term running means. I suppose the shorter-term
means will pick up random fluctuations, i.e the noise in the system, whereas the
longer-term means are a better indicator of real variations in climate.

Mind you the short term fluctuations are surely just local (NW Europe)
as we seem to be the only part of the globe to see this.
