Here's the thing, suppose we ARE experiencing a global rise in temperature, for whatever reason. The higher temp would also bring with it increased evaporation, both in latent humidity and in large bodies of water. Increased evaporation = more water in the air = increased rain/snow which in turn causes temporarily lower temperatures. Meanwhile, the outer atmospheric temperature remains higher.
You can't judge global warming or cooling by one day, one week or even one year. You have to look at longterm trends. Again, not saying you're WRONG about global warming, because I'm not enough of a climate expert to judge. But just saying, you're only looking at one piece of the puzzle.
