No slowdown in global warming.

Recent research in the way that climate change is analysed shows that the recent ‘pause’ in global warming has been exaggerated and is in fact not there.

Measurements of the planets temperature through land based records were always going to be suspect because 70% of the surface of the planet  is water and 93% of the heat absorbed by the planet goes into the oceans, 3% is absorbed by the land, 3% is used by melting ice and only 1% is retained in the atmosphere. So although the 1% is of vital importance to us, as land based creatures, it is a very small part of the picture. We are in fact a water planet.

Another big problem has been that we have good records of land temperatures and rainfall for over a hundred years since the thermometer became readily available, around 1870, but we know very little about what goes on in the oceans.
 To rectify this the Argo project placed 3500 buoys in the oceans to record temperature, salinity, acidity and flow  but these have only been on operation since 2004 which only gives us ten years of data and they only go down 1800 metres.  This still leave big areas of the vital Southern Ocean with few records and almost nothing of the ocean deeps.

We have satellites circling the Sun and the Earth so we know  exactly how much heat is radiated from the Sun and hits the earth and we know how much heat is being radiated out into space and there is an imbalance which shows that the earth is absorbing heat and retaining it, but where does it go? If its not in the atmosphere it must be in the oceans but the difficulty has been in proving it and also in showing where it actually is. 
The warmer deep water is melting the ice shelves from below and going to give us a nasty surprise so what else does the ocean have in store for us?
