I gave you specific quotes and direct questions.
You are now avoiding answering because you've been caught being dishonest.
You either don't read -- or don't understand -- your own quotes.
You keep saying it is dishonest to state that the article acknowledged there has been a pause, or "plateau." Yet the acknowledgment was in the quote you provided:
"As you might imagine, those dismissive of climate-change concerns have made much of
this warming plateau."
I disagree with much of what is in the article, including the false claim that you have to use 1998 as a starting point to demonstrate a pause (the pause actually goes back to January 1997). But I never claimed to be a fan of the article. I cited it only to prove the point about the worldwide acknowledgment of the pause.
The BBC and others have done likewise. Even the Toronto Star acknowledges there has been a pause:

I never said the New York Times article was a "denial" article. You made that up -- and, I should note, have
never provided a quote to support that accusation.
The most generous explanation I could provide for your accusation is that you're not well read and you struggle with the English language (which, again, may explain why you don't know the difference between a table of contents and an index).
Regardless, the point remains the same: Every time you accuse me of "lying," it is always confirmed that you simply don't know what you're talking about.
