But that's how it went down last month, as climate change skeptics heralded a recent paper that «proves a 15 -
year hiatus in global warming» and rebuffs the «venomous charlatans» who peddled the climate change myth to a gullible public.

The deceleration
in rising temperatures during this 15 -
year period is sometimes referred to as a «pause» or «
hiatus»
in global warming, and has raised questions about why the rate of surface
warming on Earth has been markedly slower than
in previous decades.
The
global warming hiatus — a decade - plus slowdown
in warming — could be chalked up to some buoys, a few extra
years of data and a couple buckets of seawater.
«With the improvements to the land and ocean data sets and the addition of two more
years of data, NCEI scientists found that there has been no
hiatus in the
global rate of
warming.
The error is small enough to have confidence that the ocean heat content has been increasing
in the past 15
years, during the so called «
hiatus»
in global warming.
The press release from NOAA included this statement from Karl: «Adding
in the last two
years of
global surface temperature data and other improvements
in the quality of the observed record provide evidence that contradict the notion of a
hiatus in recent
global warming trends.»
When flatlining temperatures wreck your
global warming agenda, refusing to rise after 18 + long
years in hiatus, despite record human CO2 emissions over that same period, simply homogenise, adjust (tamper) with the data.
Just as importantly, he says, the model helps to explain regional trends that seem to defy the
global warming hiatus, including record - breaking heat
in the United States last
year, and the continued decline of Arctic sea ice.
Vaughan Pratt: An intriguing feature of the stadium - wave hypothesis is that it purports to explain a 15 -
year phenomenon, namely the recent
hiatus in global warming,
in terms of 300
years worth of data.

To be perfectly clear: Talk of a «
hiatus» or a «pause»
in global warming has been a contrarian talking point for about a decade, and there is clear evidence that this framing was picked up by the media (see Max Boykoff's article
in Nature Climate Change last
year) and has now been picked up by some climate scientists.
They show this for the example of the supposed (but not real) «pause» or «
hiatus»
in global warming, for which some of us have been using the label «faux pause» for
years (check out #fauxpause on twitter).
Box 9.2 Climate Models and the
Hiatus in Global Mean Surface Warming of the Past 15 Years «The observed global mean surface temperature (GMST) has shown a much smaller increasing linear trend over the past 15 years than over the past 30 to 60 years (Section 2.4.3, Figure 2.20, Table 2.7; Figure 9.8; Box 9.2 Figure 1

These include claiming that addressing climate change will keep the poor
in «energy poverty»; citing the
global warming «
hiatus» or «pause» to dismiss concerns about climate change; pointing to changes
in the climate hundreds or thousands of
years ago to deny that the current
warming is caused by humans; alleging that unmitigated climate change will be a good thing; disputing that climate change is accelerating sea level rise; and denying that climate change is making weather disasters more costly.
And as the entire world knows by now,
global warming is stuck
in «The
Hiatus» that has resulted
in temperatures barely budging over the last 16
years.
The known «
hiatus»
in global warming over the last 15
years has been a major climate issue, discussed both inside and outside the scientific community.
Responding to and
in the manner of KK Tung's UPDATE (and, you can quote me): globally speaking the slowing of the rapidity of the
warming, were it absent an enhanced
hiatus compared to prior
hiatuses, must at the least be interpreted as nothing more than a slowdown of the positive trend of uninterrupted
global warming coming out of the Little Ice Age that has been «juiced» by AGW as evidenced by rapid
warming during the last three decades of the 20th Century, irrespective of the fact that, «the modern Grand maximum (which occurred during solar cycles 19 — 23, i.e., 1950 - 2009),» according to Ilya Usoskin, «was a rare or even unique event,
in both magnitude and duration,
in the past three millennia [that's, 3,000
years].»
Worse, around 2013 the world media began to give attention to claims that there was a «
hiatus» or pause
in global warming — the average
global atmospheric temperature was only slightly above what it had been
in the unusual
year 1998.
But Peter Wadhams, a professor of ocean physics at the University of Cambridge, UK, called the study careful and persuasive, and said: «I think it shows clearly that the so - called «
hiatus» does not exist and that
global warming has continued over the past few
years at the same rate as
in earlier
years.»
A consensus about what has put
global warming on pause may be
years away, but one scientist says the recent papers confirm that Earth's
warming has continued during the
hiatus, at least
in the ocean depths, if not
in the air.
A study published Wednesday
in Science Advances confirms once again that there was no
global warming hiatus or cooling period during the past 20
years, an idea that had previously been raised
in earlier assessments of sea surface temperature data.
Scientists are not only having trouble explaining why
global surface temperatures did not
warm for 15
years in the 21st century, they still have not adequately explained why there was an even longer 30 -
year «grand
hiatus»
in global warming during the mid-20th century.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15 -
year «pause»
in global warming: They «adjusted» the
hiatus in warming out of the temperature record.
2013 An apparent pause or «
hiatus»
in global warming of the atmosphere since 1998 is explained; the world is still
warming (as the next three record - breaking
years would confirm).
CO2
in the atmosphere has been slowly but steadily rising, yet the
warming has been so minor over the past 20
years it looks like a plateau — which is what has sparked all the talk about a
global warming pause or
hiatus.
Nir Shaviv published an article
in the Financial Post titled «Carbon Week: The sun raises the seas,» where he contends that there has been an 18 -
year - long «
