How the journal Nature plays fast & loose with the facts about the "pause" in global warming

The Hockey Schtick
"The recent paper offering excuse #8 for the "pause" in global warming has an accompanying editorial published in Nature Climate Change which plays fast & loose with the facts to cover-up the implications of the "pause." For example, the editorial mentions the "pause" could affect estimates of "climate sensitivity" to CO2, while conveniently leaving out the pause would suggest decreased climate sensitivity, i.e. less effect from man-made CO2. 

The editorial also says that for this excuse for the pause to be correct, sea level rise and ocean heat uptake should have accelerated since 2000, but conveniently fails to mention the data shows both have instead decelerated during the 21st century. "
