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 humans—as 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 warming’s 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 end—likely 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.

global warming is a hoax
yeah you all here figured out the media lied about global warming but most of you here fell for the media's ebola is a threat lie. this means most of you still have no idea how evil and how big liars the news media are. the media is the problem. the news media purposefully manufactured the ebola is a threat lie to distract Americans from the election .of course there were many other lies but these are just 2 global warming and ebola. peak oil, ozone layer, ice age, global warming ,ebola threat to USA, eggs are bad for you, bird flue, and millions of other lies. the media creates the matrix
I spent many of my HS years reading Scientific American during the study hour we had. I enjoyed more than anything.
I find the inclusion of this article unbelievable.
Sounds like they should change their name to Witch Doctors of America.
Sad.
YES! I hate the cold. I can’t wait for this global warming thing to kick into high gear.
I can actually remember when Scientific American was a respectable, quality publication. Its decision to put politics ahead of reputable science is very depressing to me.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Hell is starting to get hot causing oceans to warm.
Last time this happened there was a mini ice age from 1350 to 1750....
Could it be that the Sun's magnetic field is in decline....so less sunspots are produced...
18 consecutive years of global cooling.
Thank you for your comment. I also was wondering how the models were able to suspend heat transfer laws.

These days leterally everything has been corrupted by the Leftards.
Nothing is believable anymore.
It’s like the way the Rooskies used to read Pravda the way we read the media today. By interpreting what is not said or in euphemisms like “teens” for feral black youths, et.al.
Any they wonder why we refuse to buy their products any longer.
Haven’t heard them demanding a subsidy or some sort of craft guild “credentialing” to limit who can be a journalist.... lately. They will demand it again.
Fish fry!
This reeks of desperation. Weasel words galore. An this was just discovered this year (2014)?
“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:
Direct NASA link with headline: “NASA Study Finds Earth’s Ocean Abyss Has Not Warmed”
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4321
So, there’s NOTHING about this article that is scientific; it’s simply pure, unadulterated propaganda.
“What scientists discovered in 2014 is that since the turn of the century, oceans have been absorbing more of global warming’s heat and energy than would normally be expected, helping to slow rates of warming on land.”
NASA has debunked “deep ocean heating” and OHC (Ocean heat content) measurements since 2003 by ARGOS bouy system show a 0.02C per decade with a margin of error of about +-1C.
Seasonal variation is larger than any trend.
It’s a whole lotta nuthin’.
How wonderful...2015 will start with BS about Global Warming... I bet citizens in North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado and a few other places would like warmth.
