Well CO2 continues to rise but the temperature hasn't been following
along for the past dozen years or so. Apart from some brief spikes here
and there global surface temperature has been pretty much flat since
about 2000. <http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs_v3/Fig.C.gif> You
can see pretty much the same thing in the satellite records
<http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/> The last few
years of both actually show a slight cooling.
While it's warmer than it was 15-20 years ago what we just saw in the
Washington area is still called weather.
