"It seems that there are in the last 10 years the planet did not get warmer."
Thats an overly simplified statement that politicians love !
10 years is way too little time to search for a trend. Then these are
AVERAGED temperature differences, ostensibly equally sampled all over
the world. And we know that climate variables are rarely perfectly
linear in their correlative or causative behavior, given the different
time scales of various oceanic oscillations.
Meanwhile the accelerated melting of Himalayan and Andean glaciers
continue, as evidenced by the highest snowmelt-fed stream discharges
in recorded history (ok, thats also a blip, but at least spans more
than a century in certain watersheds).
