No it doesn't. Pretending that global warming is slowing down, by citing false causalities, is like sticking your head in the sand.The ash and soot and dust from industry are thought to increase Global Dimming.....
which slows down a general global warming trend.
These are the people who establish the official scientific record. They have the budget and the opportunity to make large scale measurements over long periods of time, ok?
Climate Change: Global Temperature
Author: Rebecca Lindsey and LuAnn Dahlman
March 15, 2021
History of global surface temperature since 1880Given the size and tremendous heat capacity of the global oceans, it takes a massive amount of heat energy to raise Earth’s average yearly surface temperature even a small amount. The 2-degree increase in global average surface temperature that has occurred since the pre-industrial era (1880-1900) might seem small, but it means a significant increase in accumulated heat. That extra heat is driving regional and seasonal temperature extremes, reducing snow cover and sea ice, intensifying heavy rainfall, and changing habitat ranges for plants and animals—expanding some and shrinking others.

The graph shows average annual global temperatures since 1880 (source data) compared to the long-term average (1901-2000). The zero line represents the long-term average temperature for the whole planet; blue and red bars show the difference above or below average for each year. (Goto site to engage the variable graph)
Conditions in 2020
https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperatureAccording to the 2020 Global Climate Report from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, every month of 2020 except December was in the top four warmest on record for that month. In December, the presence of a moderately strong La Niña event cooled the tropical Pacific Ocean and dampened the global average warmth. The month turned out as "only" the eighth warmest December on record.
