Not true. Even if you only count the day time atmosphere, it still warmed, just at a slower rate. What really warmed was the oceans, particularly at the poles. Which is why all of the major icesheets have destabilized and the Artctic icesheets have thinned considerably.

For the past 20 years we were in a regime where la Nina events dominated. This meant that air circulation over the Pacific tended to force heat into the oceans. For the past couple of years, we have had conditions favoring el Ninos. Like the stronger than expected one we have this year. That means less heat being transferred into the oceans and more stays in the atmosphere. If this keeps up, maybe the melting of the icesheets will slow.

But that also means that day time temperatures will climb at a faster rate again.
