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."

    How cute...

    And extremely naive. Taxes and world government is EXACTLY what it is all about. Carbon taxes, carbon credits, carbon markets the world's politicians are virtually salivating at all the political favors and capital they can grant and gather if they could just get the idiot masses to fall in line.

    You do realize that people BREATHING creates carbon dioxide, don't you? You do realize that carbon dioxide is quite literally PLANT FOOD, don't you?
