With movement this mixed, it is worth being skeptical of anyone drawing a strong conclusion from just the start and end points.

Like most indicator series of this kind, the Global numbers here are compiled from periodic surveys and filled in with modeling for the years between — read the shape of the trend, hold individual annual figures loosely.
