What's very unfortunate in the Schwartz paper is the following, however: «However in a subsequent publication a year later Lyman et al. [2006] reported a rapid net loss of ocean heat for 2003 - 2005 that led those investigators to estimate... a value much more consistent with the long - term record in the Levitus et al. [2005] data set.»
