11. Umm, that's not what a quick google search says.
One site says that 2010 was the warmest year on record, tied with 2005. http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-...

The Wikipedia article on the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study says the warming trend is real, although there's nothing in that article about recent years being warmer than ever.

NOAA says (as of August 2010)that the past decade was the warmest on record. Somehow none of that matches a statement that there's no warming trend over the last decade.
