Global warming - who's interpreting for you?

Amongst the noise and arguments about global warming which is now more generally accepted as being true than not*. One of the things we mere plebs have had to rely on is interpreted data. I found this website www.free-the-memes.net (by searching NASA hottest year on google).
I think it gives a good dose of context on the data for the more scientifically minded.

Now out of this, I decided two things;
1) Global warming is happening with a link to CO2 etc
2) Human activity is contributing to the rise but may not be solely responsible (but we can do something about it to protect health, wealth and happiness).

* - Interestingly baby-boomers/people who were around in the 70's who went through the "next ice age" scare seem most sceptical (understandably)
