thanks for the info guys. i dont mean to imply i have any knowledge whatsoever in the field, i just post what i find.

ssd- the thing with the number 10 years being significant to me is that the phenomena only cropped up in the last 50 years itself.

(wikipedia)Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.

both numbers are a relative blink of an eye in the context of our planet. so how long would we need to see this reversal continue until its 'official' that the planet is cooling down and not warming up?

what exactly constitutes a 'long term trend' and what constitutes a 'short term trend' i guess is what im asking.
