The research based on an analysis of ocean buoy temperature measurements suggests that the oceans cooled between 2003 and 2008 ... this cooling does not support the idea that the oceans are stockpiling heat and ... does not support the idea that the Earth is in positive radiative balance ...[via FOS]
Physicists Robert Knox and David Douglass of the University of Rochester, New York, bluntly state in their paper that their research “does not support the existence of either a large positive radiative imbalance or a “missing energy.””
Climate "scientist" Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) , who made famous the phrase “missing energy”, has reportedly dismissed the paper as “rubbish” ... [well argued, Trenberth] [my emphasis]

Oceans Are Cooling, New Research Says
And a row erupts:
You should read the whole report. The oceans are cooling because the arctic ice is melting and releasing cold water. It's the same effect when you put ice cubes in your drink to make your beverage cold.
ReplyDeleteBut...the arctic was there from the start. It shouldn't just start cooling it down now it's in equilibrium. Besides, the Arctic is not melting much or at all.
ReplyDeleteRule 1 for warmists: whatever the event/evidence - warming, cooling, freezing, melting, snow, rain, flooding, drought, pestilence, famine, bounty ... .. - it always confirms the AGW hypothesis.
ReplyDeleteRun for the equator ! An Ice age is upon us.
