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).
