This is a stupid story which I only posted so I could post this link: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/~lyman/Pdf/heat_2006.pdf showing that the oceans are cooling. Worldwide ocean cooling doesn't jive with the theory of manmade global warming, nor, as the authors point out, does it give one confidence in the models which don't show this cooling (nor the one in early 80's).

The oceans are cooling. See link in post #1.

[ghostrider]

It is still Bush's fault, because global warming is melting the ice which is mixing with and cooling the ocean water. (/sarcasm)

Kind of explains all the hurricanes we've had this year.

The liberals say we have global warming? That is reason enough for me to believe we have global cooling.

Accordingly I have doubled up on my firewood supply for the winter

I have been heating with wood exclusively for 24 years, and every year as I start the first fire of the season, Mrs. Candor7 laughs when I can be heard to exclaim, "You Arab b*stids at OPEC can go straight to hell!"

To add insult to injury I insist on using a 55 gallon oil drum stove.

And the local loggers love it,I having invested about $12,000 dollars in their industry over a 20 year period, unapologetically.

Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse System

Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect (4). Interestingly, many "facts and figures' regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold.

It does not matter how stupid this story is. The Global warming advocates are as reckless as ARGORE and this will work with the mental midgets who make up the Democratic Party's base in this country. Almost all of them are fallen victims of the Public Education System in this country.

"remote islands west of San Francisco, the largest seabird colony in the contiguous United States"

LOL
Islands are part of the contiguous US?

Stupid? Right on. Makes one wonder where the author attended school.

It's that damn manbearpig.

Figure 2 of your linked document is particularly interesting, in terms of where the water temperature increases are most pronounced: in the North Atlantic -- which is counterintutive, given that Greenland's melting ice would presumably cause water temperatures to decrease.

Blah blah blah blah...
We need to stop supporting these doofuses with our tax dollars.

There's been a steep decline in one bird species for two consecutive years???

Yes, that's ominous; very ominous....

[thinking]

Did ever occur to these Prophet's of doom, that maybe, the problem is over population of birds on a small territory

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

Ping.

PS don't miss page 6 in which accelerated ice melt is postulated as one of the potential causes for this phenomenon.

Please read with your sceptics eyes.

Also, couldn'g determine who funded these guys.

Interesting. It doesn't sound like they expect the cooling trend of the oceans to continue for an extended duration.

[Caipirabob]

Between this and "Man-bear-pig-dog" getting killed in Maine, it's like the end-o-times is here... ; )

We should institute human sacrifice to appease the gods of world climate. Each ritual sacrifice of a member of species homo gasguzzleris would assist the global beancounters in balancing the Earth's carbon budget.
