Both the warming and the leveling off corisponds to sun spot activity. Evidence suggests we will see a cooling over the next decade.
There are also trends which are MUCH longer then those represented by sun spots. You can have a decade long warming trend buried within a century of overall "cooling" -which in turn could be part of a millennium of warming. Like was mentioned on the science program, the greater trend is one of cooling which will take near a 100 thousand years to cycle through.
