We conclude that background global warming is continuing, consistent with the known planetary energy imbalance, even though it is likely that the slowdown in climate forcing growth rate contributed to the recent apparent standstill in global temperature.

Personally I think that recent research (including several studies discussed in the above post, published after the IPCC AR5 cutoff date) make a strong case that internal variability (ocean cycles) are responsible for more of the slowdown in surface warming than changes in external forcings, but there's not a consensus about that yet.

A recent BBC news story suggested that politicians want a better explanation of a slowdown in the rate of increase in warming seen in the last 15 years.

This is powerful evidence that the recent slowdown in global temperature increase is not a slowdown of «global warming,» i.e. man - made climate change, it's simply partial cancellation of global warming by the natural fluctuations due to ENSO.

And — ironically — their hypothesis is that the recent slowdown in warming is from improperly modeled quasi-periodic effect; not an underestimate of sensitivity.

Either way, the results — echoed in a recent analysis from Japan's Meteorological Agency, which found 1.13 degrees F. above the 20th - century average — indicate that global warming continues unabated, despite a slowdown in the pace of warming during the first part of the 21st century.

Much of the recent discussion of climate sensitivity in online forums and in peer - reviewed literature focuses on two areas: cutting off the so - called «long tail» of low probability \ high climate sensitivities (e.g., above 6 C or so), and reconciling the recent slowdown in observed surface warming with predictions from global climate models.

[55] According to the World Climate Report, «Dr. MIchaels» general message was that the recent behavior of global temperatures is starting to push the (lower) bounds of climate models» expectations of such behavior and that if the current slowdown in the rate of global warming continues for much longer, we must start to question the reliability of climate projections of the future state of our climate.»
