  Yes, decade-length timescales are more reasonable than looking at outlier temperatures which occur in a year-by-year basis. One of the two worthwhile citations that Guardian article provides shows changing trends over the course of centuries: https://www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/climate-tipping-points-irreversibilty-and-their-consequences-for-society-environment-and-economies-switzerlands-proposal-for-an-ipcc-special-report/ https://www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/climate-tipp... On an unrelated note, that Guardian article is so bad, there are like two references to proper peer-reviewed scientific articles and all the other references are to older Guardian articles... and none of the references are properly cited. It's almost as bad as a Crowder article, really shoddy journalism.
