Wow. Even your own article is making the case that global warming IS happening. You just didn't make it past the first paragraph.

"Terrestrial (land-based) warming never really experienced a hiatus; it was only sea surface temperatures that stalled, and even those didn’t stall everywhere. Most of the hiatus was the result of falling sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, caused by two decades of unusually strong equatorial trade winds.1 These winds pushed aside warm surface water, causing deeper and colder water to well up in its place, cool the atmosphere above, and reduce global temperature averages. The winds also pushed enormous quantities of warm water westward. This caused a “downwelling” in the western Pacific, as the mass of all this tropically heated water moved the boundary between the warm layer at the ocean’s surface and the cold layer beneath (called the thermocline) to a greater depth. So much warm water was pushed into the region that sea levels began to rise at nearly triple the global rate.2"

Scientists are always looking for grants, to continue their research. Can anyone guess where the those grants come from? Always follow the money. It's never wrong.

Then, really GW is caused by wind blowing hot water around. And wind is caused by warm air rising. And warm air is caused by the sun. Soooooo the sun causes GW. There that was easy.
