Why is our upper atmosphere cooling?

We've all heard about the warming of our atmosphere, but now we're being told it is cooling as well! How come? Apparently it's all to do with how the different layers of our atmosphere react to incoming sunlight and outgoing infrared light. Research now shows that cooling in the upper layers could be jeopardising satellite orbits and opening up a new ozone hole above the arctic. So what's going on??
