The seas have stored most of the excess heat generated by greenhouse gases since 2000, but they are due to send it back skyward December 30, 2014 |By John Upton and Climate Central

Probing a blue abyss can be an abysmal recipe for the blues.
For every 10 joules of energy that our greenhouse gas pollution traps here on Earth, about 9 of them end up in an ocean. There, the effects of global warming bite into fisheries, ecosystems and ice. But those effects are largely imperceptible to humansas invisible to a landlubber as an albatross chomping on a baited hook at the end of a long line.
What scientists discovered in 2014 is that since the turn of the century, oceans have been absorbing more of global warmings heat and energy than would normally be expected, helping to slow rates of warming on land. What they will be talking about in 2015, and beyond, is when that trend might come to an endlikely following a routine shift in Pacific Ocean trade winds. Much of that extra sunken heat will eventually be belched back into the atmosphere by the overheating seas. The effects of ocean warming might be imperceptible to most of us, but they are far-reaching. They are driving fishing fleets further out to sea, ushering tropical fish into polar waters, and worsening flood hazards for coastal communities.

I didn't think so. Not even a 1% record.
The “climate-change” alarmists struggle to keep their cause on the front page. Most people have far more to be concerned about, and aren’t willing to accept the standard of living and sacrifices necessary to save us from the dire predictions of the doomsayers.
How does the heat from green house gasses get into the ocean? Long wave radiation is incapable of penetrating more than a couple of millimeters into the ocean. The oceans are heated by short wave radiation, which comes directly from the sun.
Second Law — REPEALED by Executive Order!
My God. What is it? I just read an article about the UK having record cold and snow due to the cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean.
AFTER the election: no massive news media coverage of ebola
so ebola threat , the great “epidemic” magically gone away? what happened? no the election magically got rid of the fake ebola stories.
wow many of you still believe the liberal news media. lol. did you notice it was CNN, CBS, ABC , NBC and local news stations etc. pushing this ebola lie? did you? do you understand who these "news" people are, the most evil most marxist liars ever that's who.
the news media is the threat to you , to our freedom to America to capitalism and to even an individual’s ability to make a living. not any ebola, global warming, bp oil “catastrhophe” (i was here), peak oil ,bird flu etc. , all imaginary hobgoblins the media terroizes the public to distract and so that they allow government to grow
and you still defenc cnn etc. lol. i can bet you that there will not any deaths in the USA from ebola in 2015. in contrast 40,000 Americans will die in 2015 from car accidents. millions will die from cancer, heart disease. and also there are 1.2 million people in the USA with HIV. how many with ebola . well the media says 1 or 2 but they are liars so you can go hide under the bed from ebola lol. the media is who you should fear not me who is exposing the media
The outbreak has not burned out. It is the largest of its kind known to man (filovirus outbreak), and has exposed critical weaknesses in the medical establishment, in our will to close off travel from affected regions, and in our ability to handle it as a disease. One patient infected two health care workers here in the US, the patient died, the workers recovered due to novel treatments and excellent supportive care. One more patient who had been treated in Nebraska died of the disease.
Now you claim the media can build a story from nothing (and, indeed, they can), but they are lazy asses for the most part, parroting the AP feed. When AP stopped reporting on Ebola, so did the rest of the media.
What you don't seem to get is that they can bury a story by simply not reporting on it as well.
There is still news out there (scroll down for the latest links it is just not being reported.
Here is FR's own Ebola Surveillance Thread, with an abundance of links to stories after the election.
The American news feeds dried up just after the new czar was appointed--which I would bet was his job, because people were getting P.O.ed at the way the administration was dealing with the disease.
there is no ebola epidemic in the USA or threat of an ebola epidemic in the USA
but your liberal media lied and their massive media coverage said precisely that. cnn, cbs et all ,the media had people terrorized and i guess still has you terrorized and fooled.
to give something such massive media coverage so that it becomes part of everyone’s conversation says that it is an immediate threat to those engaged in that conversation . it wasn’t it isn’t it never will be a threat . there’s 1.2. million people with HIV in the USA is that more of a threat. you fail to see that the media is the threat not ebola , not global warming etc.
but you fail to see that the TIMING of the media coverage on ebola coincided exactly with the election. after the election suddenly no massive media coverage.
how many Americans will die of Ebola in 2015? 0 ,zero
every year at least 7,000 people die from FALLING here’s proof of that and HUNDREDS of other kinds of possible deaths that are more deadly that your ebola: http://danger.mongabay.com/injury_death.htm
http://www.cracked.com/article_18849_6-statistically-full-s2321t-dangers-media-loves-to-hype.html
see so many events happen per day in a country of 330 million people that the media can cherry pick any event to create a the false reality it wants to.
how many people in the USA actually have this ebola ? do you realize there are 330 milion people in the USA and 1.2 million of those in the USA have HIV . yet HIv is no threat to the average american neither is your and CBS news ebola.
So this is their story for the Earth not warming for 18 years. Hahahahahahaha. They don't admit the earth hasn't warmed, but they have an explanation for where the 'excess heat' went to. Too funny!!
so there is 13,000 more of a chance to of dieing from falling than from ebola, ditto for being a victim of a mass shooting etc. (assuming 1 American dies of ebola this year lol).
the news media cherry picks 1 out of a trillion events and gives that massive news coverage so much so that it gets everyone talking about that . that is how the media create the false reality we live in . no ebola , racist cops, nor mass shooters are not threats but statistically non-existant flukes that the media makes into being part of everyone ‘s lives. the media brainwashes each individual by massively repeating fake stories so that an individual feels part of that story as if that mass shooter or ebola or global warming was out to get that individual. it's brainwashing

Get real, step back from the crack pipe and let it cool for a while.
but your liberal media lied and their massive media coverage said precisely that. cnn, cbs et all ,the media had people terrorized and i guess still has you terrorized and fooled.
You didn't go to the links, did you.
Let's get something straight. It isn't MY liberal media, I don't own so much as a single share of stock in any of it.
They Never said there was an Ebola Epidemic Here in the US, but guess what? We had an undefinable increase in cases here and went from zero ever to eight in one year. Two died, six survived. Two more than ever had the disease here actually caught it here.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that isn't very many people. It's like having sex once. But if that once is the first time, it is a landmark.
The outbreak in West Africa continues, there are people with the disease in Mosul, and in the UK, and the evac plane (one of them) has been to Georgia in the past few days, why, I can't say--and the government is not saying, either.
If you think this is some sort of bullshit deal from the media, I suggest you go help out at the isolation clinics in West Africa.
as for how many Americans will die of Ebola in 2015? 0 ,zero
Stupid to predict that, especially considering there are a bunch of Americans in Africa now helping stop the epidemic, including US troops.
Believe what you want, and yes, Ebola was used to hide other crap the government was up to--they had to find something, but it is real, deadly, and thankfully seldom on these shores.
Now, genius, if it was here, do you think you'd hear about it? Like the media have been forthcoming about EV D-68 and the very likely connection to the illegal immigrant surge the State Department most likely arranged (considering DHS had let bids in January last year for escorts for ten times the usual incursion of illegal children)?
Just because something was used as a smokescreen doesn't mean it isn't real.
to give something such massive media coverage so that it becomes part of everyones conversation says that it is an immediate threat to those engaged in that conversation .
Oh. I see, like Miley Cyrus twerking, or the Super Bowl.
every year at least 7,000 people die from FALLING heres proof of that and HUNDREDS of other kinds of possible deaths that are more deadly that your ebola:
For starters, it isn't MY Ebola. I don't own it, don't have any, and would rather not have any. Yes, Virginia, there are other things on the planet which have killed more people. Stupidity ranks up there, along with the inability to recognize genuine threats exist, and deal with those as needed, or avoid them if possible.
The thing is, most threats can be avoided. Ebola is one of those things that has classically died out for lack of ability to travel. Those in an infected village would die, maybe a couple survive, and the folks down the road would go on. Isolation is the key.
For the first time, in the current outbreak (remember, please, that there is an outbreak, just not here), the disease had traveled via airliner to other countries. Ours is one of them. That was unprecedented, and breached the primary defense against Ebola that had heretofore been 100% effective: distance.
At no time have I EVER said the media is not a threat.
Now, if you can, wrap your head around the idea that part of that threat is what the media is NOT saying (coupled with the short-attention-span people have been trained by media to have which lets them forget what isn't being reported).
You asserted ebola was a figment of the media. But there are thousands of dead people who won't assert anything, who died of ebola in Africa in the past 12 months. Some figment.
so there is 13,000 more of a chance to of dieing from falling than from ebola, ditto for being a victim of a mass shooting etc. (assuming 1 American dies of ebola this year lol).LOL? You find bleeding and sh*tting yourself to death funny? You are a sick puppy.
Bad math, too. There is a 25% chance of dying from Ebola in the US (two of eight patients here died) IF you have contracted the disease.
Not knowing how many people fell without dying makes your 13000 useless for comparative purposes, but even on your numbers basis, the number of people who died from falls is 6500 times that of the people who died of Ebola, not 13000.
Believe what you will. Get back to me when you discover capital letters.
Even more disappointing, every time I make a comment like the one I posted below, SA removes my comment and disables my account; they do the same for ALL comments that dissent, so that’s proof positive that SA is nothing but pure propaganda: discussion NOT allowed!
My removed SA comment:
continue to eat away at Antarctic ice
Complete nonsense: Antarctic ice is at an all time high:
Oh, and the oceans have NOT been absorbing and hiding the so-called missing heat:

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4321
. this is not to make light of it but put it into perspective that ebola is not a threat statistically and will not be to the USA as the MASSIVE PERVASIVE MEDIA coverage made it out to be. see only something that is a threat warrants such massive news coverage. now the media stopped the massive coverage after the election and no one sees how the media cried wolf again. only i see it. all you are doing is cherry picking words that i write fast to insult me. i have limited time to post and have to rush but all you seek to do is insult me by cherry picking a misplaced word or punctuation cause you can't make your argument defending the liberal media. . i don't care what you say and know what you are doing. you can't admit the media fooled you and you seek to insult me. the media lied again . you seem to be plenty angry at me but not the media for terrorizing children with all these fake threats and for destroying our country by moving the country to the left.
I agree. The media were told to stfu about Ebola and they did. As one journalist recently said, “we report what we are allowed to report.”
ebola is not a threat statistically and will not be to the USA as the MASSIVE PERVASIVE MEDIA coverage made it out to be. see only something that is a threat warrants such massive news coverage. now the media stopped the massive coverage after the election and no one sees how the media cried wolf again. only i see it.
Ok you see now it was smokescreen. But you don't see it was a smokescreen for the election and that it ebola wasn't a threat to the USA nor Americans which the U.S. news media made it out to be as evidenced by their massive media coverage of the ebola “threat”.
For months , every day the news media hit us with massive coverage of “the ebola threat” . I talked to people who were in panic mode scared out of their minds because of ebola. I told them that the media was lying and then they looked at me like i was crazy. What's scary to me is the power the media has to make puppets out of all of you.
Me nor a misplaced word in one of my posts are not the issue here, not even the fake threat of ebola. That the media create a matrix to take away our freedom is the issue. I have no effect on policy. the news media does as they give people false information . And how can people make the right decision on who to vote for and what to support if they have false information about reality? They can't so the media rules this world.
I am not defending the liberal media.
I simply said that:
Ebola is a very real disease. Up until this outbreak an average of 60% of the people who contracted the disease died (compared to 2.5% of those who got the 1918 flu).
It's deadly if you get it, and NOT BRINGING IT HERE will help Americans not get the disease.
In the meantime, our borders remain open to the nations affected: Over 18000 infected, over 7000 dead, there.
The media shut up because the State Department announced they were not going to limit travel from nations where the disease is wreaking havoc, and the Government was continuing to issue visas and even talking about importing people who had the disease for treatment. Mentioning that would cause people to get ticked off at Obama and his minions.
What you don't know will prevent anyone from making an assessment of risk.
If you haven't figured out that I'm not defending the liberal media, you don't have time to think, either. What they say is only part of the problem, the other part is what they do NOT report on.
Misplaced word or punctuation? Those were not mentioned, but an occasional capital letter to indicate the beginning of a sentence would make your blurts more readable for those of us who also have limited time. I only work a fast-paced 12-14 hour day, and I can hit the shift key from time to time to indicate the start of a sentence. It is a basic courtesy.
i don't care what you say and know what you are doing. you can't admit the media fooled you and you seek to insult me. the media lied again . you seem to be plenty angry at me but not the media for terrorizing children with all these fake threats and for destroying our country by moving the country to the left.
I have gone on record on what I think of the media on this site enough I need not repeat it. As for angry at you, no, sorry, you aren't on my radar. I just think it is a pity that someone posting on a conservative site is slathering two-thumb phonebabble instead of writing like they have any grasp of English composition.
It’s cold.
Lol, each iteration of this hoax gets more ridiculous.
