Following rapid warming in the late 20th century, this century has so far seen surprisingly little increase in the average temperature at the Earths surface. At first this was a blip, then a trend, then a puzzle for the climate science community.
More than a dozen theories have now been proposed for the so-called global warming hiatus, ranging from air pollution to volcanoes to sunspots. New research from the University of Washington shows that the heat absent from the surface is plunging deep in the north and south Atlantic Ocean, and is part of a naturally occurring cycle. The study is published Aug. 22 in Science.

Would conduction result in greater heat at depth then at the surface? I think not unless there is some form of forced convection.
Meanwhile, the SST in the Atlantic has been cooling of late.
I actually did better in Physics btw!
I was able to find a photo of one of their meetings;
Can’t get that link to work.
This announcement is an attempt to resurrect a dying theory by explaining away the inability of the theory to predict actual physical phenomenon. This is political activism, not science.
“My brain hurts”
“Following rapid warming in the late 20th century,”
What rapid warming? The warming on the fictitous hockey graph?
A new horror movie. “It Came From Below The Sea”
It’s the insidious, nefarious, scandalous, bourgeois capitalists! Insidious and nefarious! Nefarious and insidious!
Amazing isn't it.
Adjust, adjust, adjust - that is what humans have done since they started walking the earth, and they’ve kept getting better at it and now have more means and technology for it than they’ve ever had, so my “climate” prediction is we will adjust to - mitigate the effects of - the climate at this time better than we ever have before. Global warming or not, humans are up to the challenge of dealing with it.
In 1800 there were less than a billion, now more than 7 billion, and 11 billion by 2100.
At some point, the number of humans becomes such a large force that it exceeds some or all the cyclic forces.
Exactly; and thank you for putting that so succinctly.
The global warming movement /wants/ people to stop /trying/ to understand - and to simply place blind faith in whatever their theory du jour happens to be.
Don’t you just love how they keep changing the model and reasons to match the current situation.
Yes, a natural occurring cycle. Sort of explains the ice age and jungles in the arctic.
Curious - would that conduction be due to ocean currents "pulling" the warmer water down?
That’s the thing I keep coming back to. It’s the proverbial elephant in the room that these morons refuse to acknowledge.
Q: If your stupid models did not predict this and do not account for it, why the hell should anyone believe ANY of it is correct?
A: THEY SHOULDN’T!
GIGO................Garbage In, Garbage Out..................
What a crock! These anti-science sellouts need to be badly beaten with their worthless dissertations.
How could we possibly be discovering new facts about Global Warming? I thought the “science is settled!”
