WASHINGTON: Extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans in recent years, which may explain the so-called 'pause' in global warming observed during the past decade, according to a new NASA study.
Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California, found a specific layer of the Indian and Pacific oceans between 100 and 300 metres below the surface has been accumulating more heat than previously recognised.
During the 20th century, as greenhouse gas concentrations increased and trapped more heat energy on Earth, global surface temperatures also increased. However, in the 21st century, this pattern seemed to change temporarily.
"Greenhouse gases continued to trap extra heat, but for about 10 years starting in the early 2000s, global average surface temperature stopped climbing, and even cooled a bit," said researcher Josh Willis.

Bad bad oceans.
Does this mean oceans should be subjected to a waiting or “cooling off” period, so to speak?

Antarctica sea ice reached new maximum record
Couldn’t we just lay down a pipe from the Indian Ocean and pump that water to the Atlantic use....for better use?
and had articles c 1860 explaining ocean volcanoes and their emissions into the atmosphere.
In an unrelated article, it says the sun is hot. /s
Come now. We all know that volcanos are weak compared to the sheer heat generated by the rubbing friction between our worldly peoples’ egos.
When it’s too hot in Texas or Germany, the heat naturally moves to the Indian Ocean. Yes, an obvious explanation. Next they’ll find extra heat under Antarctica.
Do these people ever give up? So global warming was “hiding” in the oceans. Uh, OK.
Pick a straw, any straw...
Best news to Climate Change crowd then.
We were told (if unchecked) global warming will result in sea level to rise up (6 meters !!! from one article yesterday).
Sea level rises up, absorbing the global warming effect, goes right back down.
Nothing needs to be done. Nature takes care of itself. Problem solved.
Perhaps these people never ever warmed the seat of an oceanography class where the decadal and dodecadal oscillation patterns of the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans have been observed for YEARS. Yes the oeans do trap heat and then release it and then trap it again. ‘Forever’
They will try to use the upcoming cycle shift to prove a point that is not there.
Maddening.
So that’s where it went!
Not "more than before". They discovered a previously unknown phenomenon. One data point does not indicate a trend. Sheesh. These people are embarrassing themselves more and more every day. And the sheeple just keep nodding their heads because actual scientific thought is apparently no longer taught in high school.
Wait till they find out about all that global warming hiding under the sofa cushions.
