Deep Ocean Cooling Disproves Global Warming Theory
Timothy Birdnow
Turns out the oceans are not only not warming due to Global Warming, but in fact are getting colder. From the U.K. Daily Mail:
To quote a limmerick often found on the walls of public men's rooms "no matter how you squirm or dance..."
One of the biggest embarrassments to the AGW crowd of Gang-Greenous partisans is the "missing heat". The Earth has failed to warm, despite every computer simulation showing it should, and climate modelers have argued the missing heat is being sucked into the deep oceans. We aren't seeing warming because the heat is hiding. Granted, they never could explain a mechanism for this, how it worked; it has just been an article of faith. But now we know the ocean depths are actually getting colder!
Where does that leave climate change theory?
The article continues;
Well, first off, there was far less data then than now, so we cannot confidently assume this research is valid. Second, if the oceans are warming I'd like to know where? Antarctic ice is way up, and even the Arctic is rebounding nicely. We have no surface warming. We have no warming in the Earth's tropical troposphere, either - the so-called "hotspot" predicted by all the computer models. No; we have no real warming in evidence at all.
Of course, ocean temps now are going to be higher than at the end of the Dalton Minimum of the nineteenth century. That stands to reason.
This should be good news and in a normal era it would be reported as a refutation of Global Warming theory. But not now. The article concludes:
Hew-boy!
See, we are in peril because the ocean may not be able to hold as much heat that it isn't absorbing anyway. It's clearly time to panic!
I for one intend to sleep well tonight, untroubled by this new peril.
Turns out the oceans are not only not warming due to Global Warming, but in fact are getting colder. From the U.K. Daily Mail:
A Harvard study has found that parts of the deep Pacific may be getting cooler as the result of a climate phenomenon that occurred hundreds of years ago.
Around the 17th century, Earth experienced a prolonged cooling period dubbed the Little Ice Age that brought chillier-than-average temperatures to much of the Northern Hemisphere.
Though it’s been centuries since this all played out, researchers say the deep Pacific appears to lag behind the waters closer to the surface, and is still responding to the Little Ice Age.

If the surface ocean was generally cooling for the better part of the last millennium, those parts of the ocean most isolated from modern warming may still be cooling,’ said Jake Gebbie, a physical oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
To test this, the team compared measurements taken during the 1870s by scientists on the HMS Challenger to modern data.
During the study in the late 1800s, the researchers of the time dropped thermometers deep down into the ocean between 1872 and 1876, collecting more than 5,000 measurements in total.
‘We screened this historical data for outliers and considered a variety of corrections associated with pressure effects on the thermometer and stretching of the hemp rope used for lowering thermometers,’ Huybers said.
As expected, the comparisons showed most of the world’s ocean has been warming up over the last century.
In the deep Pacific Ocean, however, temperatures are dropping. This effect could be seen at a depth of around 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).

According to the team, this could influence our understanding of how much heat the ocean has absorbed in the last century, suggesting it could be as much as 30 percent less than previously assumed.
Their findings are published in a new paper in the journal Science.
‘The close correspondence between the predictions and observed trends gave us confidence that this is a real phenomenon,’ Gebbie said.
‘Part of the heat needed to bring the ocean into equilibrium with an atmosphere having more greenhouse gases was apparently already present in the deep Pacific,’ Huybers said.
