The response is going to be that the US is not the world, only a small part. But consider what would be said if things were reversed. If the data shown indicated that the US was warming and the rest of the world was cooling. Those who seem to think we can do something about the climate would be saying that the US has the best equipment thus we have to believe the US data. Well I agree.
Go here to see the actual NOAA data:
National Temperature Index National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI
From the linked article:
Data from America’s most advanced climate monitoring system shows the U.S. has undergone a cooling trend over the last decade, despite recent claims by government scientists that warming has accelerated worldwide during that time.
The U.S. Climate Reference Network was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide “high-quality” climate data. The network consists of 114 stations across the U.S. in areas NOAA expects no development for the next 50 to 100 years.

In theory, according to historical data, we should be going through a cooling period, quite a dramatic cooling period at that. What seems to be happening is that natural cooling is fighting with man made warming and they're almost balancing each other out. The US appears to be getting a little cooler, at least the eastern side. The rest of the world is getting a little warmer.
