The results show August 2008 as having a decrease in world temperatures compared to the "Warm Years".
The CO2Sceptics forecast for Global Temps during 2008, is that World Temperatures will not be at the same level of the "Warm Years". The Sun is not expected to be with the more familiar, constant and predictable higher than average output we have seen for the past 60 years. You only have to look at the "Warm years" to see how constant that period was.
If you read as much of the blather turned out by media folk like the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman and others, you begin to see certain themes emerge.

ANALYSIS-US agriculture squeezed by demand.
by Christine Stebbins
ST. LOUIS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - U.S. agriculture faces the daunting task of growing enough crops to meet the demands of both a hungry world and the booming new biofuels industry while reducing its impact on climate change.

by Piers Corbyn, WeatherAction.Com
This concerns the current lack of sunspots and NASA's observations and announcements for 23 Sept - this is a continuation of the previous CO2Sceptics.Com exclusive 'The Roll Of The Spotless Sun'
One question - concerning what NASA has said in preview of NASA / ESA / Jet Propulsion Lab's excellent work - must be: How can we be sure that this is a 50-yr low in the SOLAR WIND (and what is the measure of that being used? particle flux? average speed? or???) because solar wind was NOT measured 50 years ago. Geomagnetic activity was measured of course but they are not the same.
