That depends on the data, so you need to look at variance for the particular record (a side note — satellite mid-tropospheric records have higher variance than surface records, and inherently require more data to make that determination), at auto - correlation, the scale of trend changes, all of those, to determine whether current trends are significantly different from the past.
