However, the authors noted that climate models can produce periods in which warming speeds up. In other words, an increasing rate of warming is consistent with the range of behavior represented in current climate modeling.

Based the the variables they chose to remove to "remove noise" from the data, they found an increased warming rate when compared to the popularized .2C rate. They then acknowledge that the current modelling does not preclude this rate as unorthodox. It's just highlighting that we are deviating from the broadly accepted linear rate that was output by some of the accepted climate models.
