Quite right, ole chum. A nip here, a tuck there and we’ll have this whole thing sorted out in time to meet over an expense account lunch.
Being an expert is really great, don’t you think?
The facts don’t fit the Agitprop.

Put the robot AlGore down there in cement shoes to see if he can figure it out!
Not possible. Its there. It has to be there. Its like Big Foot except you have to purchase outrages insurance (carbon credits) to protect yourself from it.
Seriously, the response to this is very predictable. They will simply say that we are going through a natural cooling cycle, which has masked the GW and when we emerge from that natural cooling cycle, we are all going to burst into flames. They will see this as "one last chance" provided by God to do what is right."
Thus, the lack of an increase in temperatures proves the existence of GW, because temperatures should be falling!
Also I sent the link to Drudge.
I suggest everyone do so.
He occasionally puts up these kinds of stories, and since this is NPR and scientists claerly struggling to support warming, I think it is a biggie story.
But -but - but, I thought the debate was over!!
Where the hell is Al Gore?
A variant of possibility #2:
Our models are faulty.
The robots are no doubt part of the vast right wing conspiracy!
Gor-eye: believe or die.
I think the problem is that they sent smart robots to collect the data. They should have sent dumb drones, then they’d get the answers they were looking for.
If they had instead dropped 3000 SUV’s instead of robots down there no doubt the oceans would all be a boiling away by now.
The robots were built by companies owned by evil oil companies that give only to republican causes and candidates...
It's also possible that some of the heat has gone even deeper into the ocean, he says. Or it's possible that scientists need to correct for some other feature of the planet they don't know about. It's an exciting time, though, with all this new data about global sea temperature, sea level and other features of climate.
“I suspect that we'll able to put this together with a little bit more perspective and further analysis,” Trenberth says. “But what this does is highlight some of the issues and send people back to the drawing board.”
Trenberth and Willis agree that a few mild years have no effect on the long-term trend of global warming. But they say there are still things to learn about how our planet copes with the heat.
This sure sounds like an admission that all of the models so far are incomplete and faulty....
Which is what the "deniers" have been saying for ages...:^)
Not just the "water heat sink effect", but the "cloud effect" too.... both of which are probably self-correcting feedback loops...:^)
They are going to analyze that data until it “proves” global warming I tell ya!
