oh, and in case anyone is interested in recent (and raw) data.
check out NASA's GISS Surface Temp site.
if you do a world map of surface temp trends for 2000-2006, using 1980-2000 as your baseline (going on the assumption that older data is inherently innacurate), and a good majority of the map shows a warming trend.
If you take the baseline from the 1800's, then you do see the cooling trends in the antarctic, and warming in the arctic (why Russia is cooling 8C while Alaska is warming 8C beats the hell out of me..).
