Serial climate misinformer, Matt Ridley, has a new oped in the Wall Street Journal making the predictable, just plain wrong argument that global warming has stopped. The news hook for this piece is McKitrick's study that, while new, has already been debunked by multiple sources as a prime example of working backwards from a desired conclusion.
Ridley's argument hinges on evidence suggesting there have been "16, 19 or 26 years"—depending on which part of the atmosphere you look at—in which atmospheric temperatures have "paused." This ignores the fact that global air and ocean temperatures have been rising, with all 13 of the 14 hottest years on record happening in the 21st century. What this means is we've repeatedly broken warm temperature records during the same time period that Ridley claims there's been no global warming.
