Is the warming being cancelled by anthropogenic forces? Maybe. The paper argues it's possible. I say it's possible.

The paper in question seemed clear to me in its conclusion...
"The finding that the recent hiatus in warming is driven largely by natural factors does not contradict the hypothesis: “most of the observed increase in global average temperature since the mid 20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations..."
I fail to see how this paper that focuses on how pollution emissions may mask variations in temperature changes the consensus of the vast majority of climate scientists on the anthropogenic contributions to climate change.
