This chart is a plot of global «warming» as represented by the red curve (a 5th
order fitted trend) and the grey curve for CO2 levels (a 5th order fit).

Additional chart info: the red - dotted curve is a basic 36 - month moving average; the green curve is 6th

order fitted trend (blue curve) and the 36 - month moving average (red curve), the deceleration of the global warming trend and a plateauing can easily be seen.
