As experts say, whether the Earth is cooling or warming all depends on from what point in time you measure. Further if you look at the LONG term trend... the current overall warming trend seems to be part of a much large long term trend which is going to occur despite what we may or may not do. https://assets.science.nasa.gov/content/dam/science/esd/eo/content-feature/globalwarming/images/epica_temperature.png
