I think most people start it after the '98 El Niño, meaning we are at year 16 or 17. Either way, our temperature data doesn't effectively measure climate, so the fact that this conversation is even necessary is a little depressing.
I linked it on another comment above but the study below demonstrates an increase in subsurface temperatures which would explain why there was a pause in surface temperatures observed.

It's scientifically sound -- the hiatus is nearing 20 (or 22 depending on how you count it) years now.
