jimmi says: «If the sea surface temperature rise is correctly observed, as the paper assumes, and if it is truly global, as is stated, then a large amount of energy has been added to the top layer of the ocean.»

-- It was on Panorama about 7 years ago that I heared about James Hansen talking about how he was being «gagged» by NASA re AGW and about global dimming and how methane calthrates could eventually rise to the surface with a vision of the oceans igniting in flames — I kid you not.

So how our environmental future plays out now is that as the poles melt, the ocean heats, and water surface area increases, atmospheric H2O skyrockets and some time later as the temperature passes through 4 deg C heading for 5 deg C global temperature rise, the ocean currents start to stall.

If the sea surface temperature rise is correctly observed, as the paper assumes, and if it is truly global, as is stated, then a large amount of energy has been added to the top layer of the ocean.

They conclude that while the rate of increase of average global surface temperatures has slowed since 1998, melting of Arctic ice, rising sea levels, and warming oceans have continued apace.

But this post has shown that ALL of the rise in global sea surface temperatures since 1900 can be explained by the oceans integrating the effects of ENSO.

Rising surface temperatures in the last three decades of the 20th century were roughly half caused by man - made global warming and half by the ocean currents keeping more heat near the surface, it finds.

The IPCC tells us that Over the period 1961 to 2003, global ocean temperature has risen by 0.1 °C from the surface to a depth of 700 m.

Global warming leads to rising temperatures of the oceans and the earth» surface causing melting of polar ice caps, rise in sea levels and also unnatural patterns of precipitation such as flash floods, excessive snow or desertification.

The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and, indirectly, from increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes in many physical and biological systems.

In a new study, researchers claimed that a group of methane - munching microbes that live in rocky dwellings on the seafloor could be preventing large amounts of greenhouse gas from reaching the surface of the ocean and the atmosphere, where it could contribute to rising global temperatures.

In other words: Proposed strategies to alter the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth's surface by (for example) deliberately injecting millions of tons of sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere pose enormous risks and uncertainties and don «t address the underlying causes of global warming or other major risks from rising concentrations of carbon dioxide, such as ocean acidification.

Threats to marine biodiversity in the U.S. are the same as those for most of the world: overexploitation of living resources; reduced water quality; coastal development; shipping; invasive species; rising temperature and concentrations of carbon dioxide in the surface ocean, and other changes that may be consequences of global change, including shifting currents; increased number and size of hypoxic or anoxic areas; and increased number and duration of harmful algal blooms.

Towards the end of his presentation he added: «Some research suggests global warming is linked to rising ocean and sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico — which may have an impact on hurricane intensity.

However, ocean temperatures have warmed almost everywhere on the planet, with 0.5 ºC being the global mean rise of sea surface temperature, hence Trenberth's reasonable estimate that this much is the contribution from global forcings like CO2.

Over the past three decades, changes in [CO2] have increased global average temperatures (approx. 0.2 °C decade − 1 [2]-RRB-, with much of the additional energy absorbed by the world's oceans causing a 0.8 °C rise in sea surface temperature over the past century.

And finally: The oceans are heating, sea level is rising, global surface temperature is increasing (yes that's right).

(It is frequently forgotten or overlooked in discussions of global mean temperature that temperatures over land rise much more than temperatures over ocean — and ocean, of course, occupies roughly 70 % of the world's surface.

Arctic sea ice, Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, global glacier mass, permafrost area, and Northern Hemisphere snow cover are all decreasing substantially, while ocean surface temperatures, sea level, and ocean acidification are rising [36].

It could be evenly distributed in the global ocean causing an almost imperceptable rise in its temperature well beyond the margin of detection error or it could be rejected by more efficient means of transport from surface to space or by a change which prevents it from ever reaching the surface in the first place.

Past experience (Trenberth et al. 2002) suggests that global surface temperature rises at the end of and lagging El Niño, as heat comes out of the Pacific Ocean mainly in the form of moisture that is evaporated and which subsequently rains out, releasing the latent energy.

In the almost sure knowledge that the earth never experienced a runaway greenhouse even with ancient CO2 levels 10 to 20 times greater than today, these anti-science scoundrels insist with a «high level of confidence» that this amplification is real and it's based on nothing more than faster than expected surface temperature rise in the past few decades which can be TOTALLY explained by multi-decadal cyclic behavior in ocean currents, trade winds, and / or solar magnetic activity causing small global average albedo changes.
