Ehm, no. The pop-sci reporting on that study had a very misleading title; the pop-sci report in Science was titled
"Evidence Against a Global Warming Hiatus?"
based on the scientific paper titled
"Possible artifacts of data biases in the recent global surface warming hiatus"
Also, that is a single paper, based on adjusting historical temperature data for a single data set, which then shows less of a hiatus. Compare that to the fifth IPCC report, based on a large number of data sets and a very large number of studies, which states unequivocally
“[global temperature] has shown a much smaller increasing linear trend over the past 15 years [1998-2012] than over the past 30 to 60 years.”
