Warm water now sinks and contracts. In the world of climate science, physical law must be modified to match global warming theory. Sea level is declining because the oceans are warming up.
Our planet’s deep oceans at times tend to absorb enough heat to mask the effect of global warming for as long as a decade – even in the midst of longer-term warming, scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) say.
That deep oceans trap “missing heat” may help explain the mystery of why there are periods when global warming slows, despite there being satellite data showing no change in the amount of energy trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Researchers from the U.S. and Australia say the “missing heat” is hiding in the oceans deeper than 1,000 feet (300 meters).
Trenberth may be a climatologist, but he’s no scientist.
As you pointed out, the oceans are contracting.
Satellite data is what he disputed when he stated “Numerous attempts have been made to constrain climate sensitivity with observations ….” in his objections to SB11 and LC09.
The sad fact is, they found no such heat in the deep oceans, they created a computer program to say they found it. He’s lost any facade of scientific discovery he may have had left.
NCAR is a disgrace. Trenberth is a walking joke. Anyone that had any part of this madness should do the right thing and resign.
There are a lot of people that depend on the results from NCAR computer games they use to scare other people to keep them in line!
Yep, they refuse to accept reality so they invent ….. well not even plausible explanations for why we’re not warming.
We need to gain control of congress and shut-r-down. A great dying of climate con, er, uh, study.
First order of the day (rather, new administration) should be a Congressional investigation of Hansen and Schmidt. Subpoena every last email and scrap of code. Get out the speculum and the microscope. spend what it takes, and audit their entire dataset, stewardship of records, every algorithm and “adjustment”. Then call the Grand Jury. Start with the loyal subject rats and make your way to the Grand Wizards.
Roger that. This is precisely what is needed.
Retire the lot and take away their toys. In the long run it would be cheaper. By pensioning off most of the researchers we save money that would be needed to investigate their deeds and also save money spent on the office space they occupy.
How did the heat get to the lower depths? Can’t be transport; currents don’t go that deep, can’t be convection; wrong direction, and can’t be conduction; too slow.
How did the heat get that deep and who/what has measured the change? Easy to make claims when you have no data.
Exactly, there is no measurement. Its just Trenberth and his “powerful software”. Medical doctors get their licenses pulled for malpractice. I guess SB11 pushed him over the edge of sanity. But, it wasn’t a very hard shove.
During the deepwater horizon oil spill cleanup, their biggest problem was the cold temps at 5000 ft which was causing hydrates to form. How could the gulf of mexico be exempt from the supposed heating that they’ve magically found in the ocean?
lol, the heat knows we’re looking for it so it dodges us. Tricky stuff, that deep water heat is.
The Atlantians, the Lemurians, and the purported residents of the supposed lost continent of Mu are sequestering the heat in their underwater adamantium smelters. Obviously the devastating invasion is only a matter of time.
Don’t give these folks any ideas. Remember the “alien invasion” craziness of a few weeks ago? Atlantean invasion would be a logical next step. And my computer model tells me (in the absence of any measurement whatsoever) that it’s likely.
NCAR must be NASCAR with their ASs wiped out.
Let’s see if I have this right. The deep ocean warms as the mid-level cools. And in a decade the deep-ocean warmth returns to warm the atmosphere. And the colder atmosphere, enriched by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, warms the warmer ocean and land. We learn all this from computer simulations, which debunk measurements by satellite and ocean sensors – and tide gauges, and balloons.
Wonderful news, Alice! I found your looking glass, and the White Queen says all this is so.
…and all of a sudden, out of the blue, the deep ocean started doing it when it had not done it before
Problem with their whole BS story is the deep ocean would have been doing it all along….not just when it’s convenient to hide the heat
…..well that and the whole thermal expansion and physics of heat migrating to cold thing……but they’ve never let physics get in their way before
Newton is well remembered for describing universal gravitation and three laws of motion, but he also spent a good part of his life trying to turn lead into gold. Without his real scientific discoveries we would remember his as another raving alchemist (if he was remembered at all).
I wonder if Trenberth will stumble into any substantive scientific discovery, or if this will be his alchemy.
No, he won’t discover anything. He’s shown quite a bit of disdain for observation.
Here’s a thought….along the lines of the BP post
Since the deep ocean can hide heat and release it later….
…and the deep ocean is freezing
Why isn’t it releasing the cold and freezing our butts off………..
Roger that. That’s why I used the word stumble. At the end of the day, they learned how to use computers to tell a story, but learned not much about how the world works………ha, still laughing about all that heat that was magically transported to the deep ocean. Simply amazing that everyone missed it. Good things Kev’s computer models showed us the way.
GIGO Rules!
“Researchers from the U.S. and Australia say the “missing heat” is hiding in the oceans deeper than 1,000 feet (300 meters).”
Anthropomorphized heat. It is now mischievous and sneaky!
‘Hiding’? Are these researchers still in grade school?
At least they know how to convert and round correctly.

UARS is expected to re-enter over a 500-mile (804-kilometer) path
They have a general idea of the length of the debris path but are at a loss when and where! They will know when it falls!
At least we have a 48 hour window for when it will enter the atmosphere! Some time within the next 72 hours! Maybe!
Correction, that should be 500-mile (804672000-millimetre) path. HA!
When I read the machinations of the AGW crowd on this blog, I’m mentally storyboarding a Monty Python film (“Bring out your heat!”). The neopagans have already showm themselves to be less clever than a Marx brothers film, so I guess the next step is a Stooges production. The warmists are the worst possible combination: ignorant, fanatical, and powerful.
I’m embarrassed to say those Australian scientists work for our once greatly respected CSIRO, an organisation which has become part of the governments propaganda machine. Any employee there who is foolish enough to question AGW becomes an ex-employee with a poor CV. Science is dead in the CSIRO.
Let’s See. The oceans are adding heat and the volume of water shrinks as the water takes on heat…
Maybe if Trenberth could get several more millions in funding he could figure it out.
