The pause is real and it contains lots of interesting science, there are over 50 explanations proffered for it.
But is also has another effect in that is shows the diversity of opinion in climate science, which on this important topic is certainly not settled.

“What you see is that the slowdown just goes away.” –Thomas Karl (NOAA), Science Magazine, 4 June 2015.
“The slowdown hasn’t gone away.” –Peter Stott (Met Office), The Sunday Times, 12 February 2017
