Hand up! I know! I know!
The ocean absorbed all that heat because of SUVs and
personal watercraft!!
“Ah but you see...this just means AGW will be even worse. Yes, that’s it — worse and worse when the oceans can take no more and Mother Earth bursts into full blown fever. Yes...that’s the ticket!”

Sorry, not a good argument. The The theory is that the extra heat is hiding in deep ocean, carried down by currents. The Arctic Ocean is quite isolated from the rest of the world's oceans by landmasses and shallow straits. Currents in the rest of the ocean probably don't have much effect on it.
Personally, I think the oceans absorbing heat notion is silly, but this is not a good argument against it.
There's a giant Sham-wow at the bottom of the ocean that sucks up all the excess heat................
“Settled science”
ROFLMFAO
If the heating and cooling of the Earth was condensed into a math formula....there would be over 1,000,000 variants, with differing rates of progression and retreat, and it’d take a hundred math “giants” a thousand years to come to some type statistical model that might explain a quarter of the big picture.
Thank goodness that we bypassed that formula, and went into a monetary redistribution statistical model...opting to take funding from our pockets...settle the heating and cooling aspects...and getting that funding into the hands of environmentalists, community organizers, and those lacking motivation to work for a living. That sure fixed the heating and cooling issues.
This conversation is between Alice and the Red Queen, in Through the Looking Glass.
True science would have long ago discarded the theory that rising CO2 levels from human activity is causing global warming because the data shows there has been no global warming despite increases in CO2 levels. The global warming cultists now have to invent these far out explanations because they cannot abandon the man caused global warming dogma.
To be a true liberal/communist you must always be able to hold at least two conflicting opinions in your mind at the same time and fervently believe and support both. Its a rule of membership.
If the global warming model were anywhere near workable it would have already worked all factors in.
Global Warming sleeps with the fishes.
Well. Now we can spend trillions more dollars on research grants to liberal institutions to study the effects of no global warming on the oceans. The trough just got a whole lot bigger.
Because it would be more true to say that the oceans ate the CO2, which is what it does on a regular basis.
The ocean oxygenates when CO2 mixes with oceanic plant life. Plants use it for photosynthesis, and give off oxygen, which fish use to digest the plant life and smaller fish they eat.
What NOBODY around this giant fraud has mentioned, and nobody with a high school science background should fail to grasp, is that CO2 IS HEAVIER THAN AIR.
If there really was a build up of CO2, the first place you’d locate a sensor is in Death Valley, CA - which is below sea level.
If the CO2 there doubles, from 0.037% of the atmosphere to say 0.074%, then you’d have a case that humans are the ones causing the problem.
YOU STILL WOULD NOT HAVE ESTABLISHED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH RESPECT TO CO2. At those low concentrations, it isn’t going to make any difference at all in holding heat to the surface of the earth.
The only thing that can do that is atmospheric WATER VAPOR.
NO2, SO2, and other ‘acid rain’ causing chemicals are also heavier than air.
When they come out of giant smoke stacks, the start descending through the air column until they end up in clouds, which then becomes rain, and indeed damages forests and water supplies. You can replicate that bit of science in a lab, as you can the CO2 science above.
NONE of what these criminals are shoveling can be proved in a lab, only in a cooked model on a computer.
This crap would not succeed if people had an attention span and common sense.
The advocates of the Green theology or cult leaders know this.
TIME Magazine, 1974:
“Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth’s surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age...”

TIME Magazine, 2006:
“Never mind what you’ve heard about global warming as a slow-motion emergency that would take decades to play out. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the crisis is upon us...”
Now we are going to try logic? Forgetaboutit...it’s their religion.
Akin to- “The dog ate my GW research...”
