Is it true that the rate of global surface warming has slowed over the last decade?
Partly. Evidence on the recent warming rate is mixed and partial: one review documents a debated slowdown in the surface warming trend over roughly 1998-2012, while a 2026 analysis reports acceleration over the last 10+ years and other sources describe continued or steady warming. None of the items settles the global rate over the last decade as a whole.
