The data for temperature is relative to the 1960-91 average as is as given by Hadcrut3 [1], the average temperature is a rolling average of 12 months. Carbon dioxide concentrations are yearly averages taken from [2] with scale adjusted so that 1992 is zero.

The primary reason for uploading the file is as a visual aid to highlight that recent trend has been for cooling and so prompt a discussion about the use of phrases such as "recent warming".
