deep into our
oceans causing rapid changes and the decline of key ecosystems.
The world's

deeper waters, finds data stretching back to 1960.
If somehow the

warming for the last 16 years.
Josh Willis explanation that
extra warming was going down in the
deep ocean is unsupportable because sea level data are essentialy coherent with ARGO

ocean temperature), no sea level increase.
