Past Measurements May Have Missed Massive Ocean Warming

An anonymous reader writes "Previous estimates of global ocean warming have been significantly underestimated due to historically sparse temperature data from the Southern Ocean, new research has found. From the article: "Earth's oceans have absorbed more than 90% of the warming caused by greenhouse gases, researchers estimate, with the stored heat showing up as warmer seawater. But a new analysis suggests scientists may have underestimated the size of the heat sink in the upper ocean—which could have implications for researchers trying to understand the pace and scale of past warming."

im so sick of the lying. both poles have jncreased 40% or more accordibg to daily mail and washington post. you can stop lying about ocean heat -if caps growing then pcean is cooler. start using your brain people.
