The fact of the matter is the oceans are HUGE heat sinks. If they are absorbing the extra energy, we can expect changes in ocean currents, salinity and oxygen content. Heat being transferred to the lower layers of the ocean is kind of scary but it is a way the planet can spread the increased heat. The question is what changes will this bring?
Time will tell if global warming has stopped or has simply been paused by some process of storing the energy. It would be nice to find out it has stopped but deeper ocean currents absorbing the heat is entirely possible. Water has a very high specific heat. If we're lucky, this will result in the ice caps growing and more heat will be reflected back into space. I just hope it doesn't change the ocean currents to our disliking.
Mankind will fade some day, the sun will eventually go nebula and the lights will go out. None of it can be stalled or reversed because we have nothing to do with it. Who has the volcano and weather switches? Who has the forest fire buttons? How about the remote for earthquakes? Who turned the sea to salt?
LOL, The Daily Caller is a tabloid magazine. To use it as proof that Global warming is not happening shows you have no idea what you are talking about.
The answer is clear and right in front of our noses, yet oddly not mentioned yet. It's the carbon taxes....saving the planet as they were designed to do!!
These people are dumber than a bag of rocks. They worship at the altar of global warming and haven't had a single intelligent comment on the matter in 20 years.
Sorry to burst this bubble, but there is NO PAUSE in global warming. None. Right wing nut jobs post blogs lying about this so called pause and then a bunch of dim witted accept it as gospel.

So, how did human activity make this happen?
