NASA Study: Ocean Abyss Has Not Warmed

submitter bigwheel sends this excerpt from a NASA news release: The cold waters of Earth's deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005, according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, analyzed satellite and direct ocean temperature data from 2005 to 2013 and found the ocean abyss below 1.24 miles (1,995 meters) has not warmed measurably. Study coauthor Josh Willis of JPL said these findings do not throw suspicion on climate change itself. "The sea level is still rising," Willis noted. "We're just trying to understand the nitty-gritty details."

They're obviously getting a rebate on rocket fuel from big oil. Deniers the whole bunch of them!

Bingo. Anti-AGW people go "ah hah! It's not warming see! Nothing to worry about!"
Which should actually be about as comforting as discovering that your septic tank has gone from full to empty without any actually needing to pump it out.
