There has been no net global warming since 1940.

The data is now overwhelming - the world is getting cooler while carbon dioxide has increased. Either the thermometers are wrong or the speculation regarding carbon dioxide is wrong.

Of course, the fact that 1940 was at the top of a cycle, and that 2008 is at the bottom may explain that.
Even if it doesn't, I don't see how a set of readings from one place can be "overwhelming data".
I'm not going to even bother looking at your links until you can honestly tell me that they're to a more credible source than NASA, who disagrees with your claim.

NASA's temperature data is incomplete and unreliable.NASA is the least credible source of data for two reasons:
1) The use land based thermometers that are subject to urban heat islands as the land around them is developed.
2)They have changed the official data more than one in the last ten years.
The most credible source of data is the University of Alamaba at Huntsville which uses satellite data. The links above are based on the UAH data.
