The video was put together by Climate Desk at the IPCC conference in Stockholm(a very good organization that publishes good, short videos for the sake of climate science and its effetcs!) They attempted to make the ever popular recent hiatus in atmospheric temperatures understandable, which is a very good cause.
However there a few things i noted:
the title! saying "Global" in the very title denotes that the entire Earth is not warming, which is NOT true as the Oceans are. this is the very reason why the public doesn't understand it and when they watch videos like this that use wording in a confusing manner or one that can be misused by a skeptic it just makes the situation that much worse.
my favorite comment from another reader on the website:
If we scientists were smart enough to start a conspiracy in the 1800's to score grants 120 years later, we are so smart that we *deserve* to be your overlords.
Grovel before us, peon.
