But scientists note the long-term trend is still downwards. You are right, they can't tell. But they are darned sure we are still going down.
It's as if they can see the future and this "pause" is just a pause.
If they were unbiased and objective, they would say the PAST trend was downward, and we have what could be the beginning of an upward trend. We will have to wait and see to confirm that or see if it resumes the downward trend.
