It's actually kind of a terrible piece. The heart of the problem is that he regards skepticalscience as a valid source of science information. But just looking at the part you quoted: if the warming trend ever stopped, that would look exactly like what we've actually seen.
Mathematically speaking, whenever a warming trend stops, the decade after which that happens will be one in which you can correctly say "We just experienced the hottest decade on record.". So in that paragraph he is not actually disagreeing that there has been a pause. Nor is he providing any evidence at all against it. The fact that he apparently thinks he's making an argument against the skeptical position really just says that he doesn't know any skeptics.
