NYT discusses the global warming pause misconception

The illustration from The New York Times.

Misconception: There was a global warming “pause,” so climate change is bunk.

Actually: That’s like saying a temporary dip in the stock market means that the best long-term investment strategy is keeping your cash under the mattress.

Those who deny the science of climate change and the role of human activity in causing it often claim that global warming paused for more than a decade until recently, and that the pause means that climate change is not happening.
