NASA Study Finds Earth’s Ocean Abyss Has Not Warmed

October 6, 2014

The cold waters of Earth’s deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005, according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years.

Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, analyzed satellite and direct ocean temperature data from 2005 to 2013 and found the ocean abyss below 1.24 miles (1,995 meters) has not warmed measurably. Study coauthor Josh Willis of JPL said these findings do not throw suspicion on climate change itself.

Worse than we thought (again):
" the new study found the global ocean absorbed far more heat in those 35 years than previously thought"

No one knows with any level of confidence what the OHC has done. Until ARGO the measure ments had such large deviations that a reliable statement is just flat out speculation.

And when NOAA started getting the accurate measurements from ARGO the first thing they did was 'correct the data' as it couldn't be correct. Now you do not hear much at all about ARGO, which means it's not providing the 'global warming signal' that they wanted. Had it shown the seas warming even slightly ARGO data would have been widely publicized.

No doubt
