30 or 40 year periods are not what climatologists use to determine climate trends.
Also direct correlations of "cause and effect", are not always evident in "momentary"(short trends) rises and falls of global temperatures.
Interpretation of data is crucial.
With deliberately cherry picking appropriate time periods, here 1998-2012, a "pause" can be created, even when there is an ongoing warming trend.
