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

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.

The 30 year trend in the CET series is comparable to the warming trends that you see in the GISS, CRUTEM4 & UAH temperature series.
