NOAA Report Says Global Warming Not Slowing - Science News - redOrbit
While climate change skeptics point out that global temperatures have been leveling off in recent years, John P. Abraham, professor of thermal sciences at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, told the LA Times that the new NOAA report revealed systemic changes to Earth’s overall climate.
“The latest ‘State of the Climate’ report shows that the Earth continues to heat, the atmosphere is heating, the worldwide ice loss continues, and other symptoms of our warming planet march forward, without cessation,” Abraham said. “A lot of people claim that global warming has magically stopped, but the facts, and the Earth, continue to disagree.”

What Abraham fails to address is that the atmosphere, through radiative re-release of heat by CO2 is the source of all global heating under the IPCC narrative. If the air doesn't warm, then the heat entering the system is coming from somewhere else ... like TSI.
If enhanced atmospheric heating due to CO2 is happening, then it must be happening on an increasing basis as CO2 keeps going up, but it must be counterbalanced by a process of removing the heat as fast as it comes into the atmospheric system. That would be a global process not yet identified, just as the claim that this additional heat is "hiding" in the deep ocean lacks a mechanism or route to do so.
CAGW and CO2 believers have created two unknown factors that operate at a global level that are not recognized in the IPCC models, but somehow this admission does not invalidate or at least lend uncertainty to the models. It is as if a mathematician had said the physics problem involves 5 terms, 2 of which he had no clue about, but it was okay to work out the answer with just the 3 we knew about. Would never happen. Except in climate science.
