Topic for discussion:
- What is Excess Heat?
- Where was this excess heat hiding before being absorbed by the oceans
- Describe the mechanism by which the ocean absorbs excess heat. The IPCC (redistribute wealth by Climate change) alleges that this process occurs from the surface all the dow to the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss
Answers:
1) Excess heat is the amount of heat required to raise the Earth's temperatures above the the Spring of 1900 idyllic values. It only exists when the surface temperatures RISE, If they FAIL to RISE --- then and only then do we see excess heat in "HIDING"...
2) It can only be HIDING or Warming the 100,000 thermometers in the HadleyCrut network of thermometers. Might NOT be detected by satellite because it's not Hiding in the lower Troposphere. When it stops warming the GISS temperature records, the records are changed because it was hiding in remote areas of the planet that are underserved by the 100,000 thermometer network. And to avoid appearances of racial and ethnic bias -- those areas are warmed a bit...
3) In the years in which the temperature fails to rise enough to make monthly Govt press releases, enough temperature is "redistributed" to the poorly covered areas. This entitlement eventually trickles down to oceans thru conventional water cycle and weather. Since a lot of the poorly serviced areas are in ice-bound regions, Increased activity of sea life and ship traffic thru those regions aid in the mixing process as the ice melts..
Seriously -- look at the classic (and never illuminated) Ocean ate my Warming paper by Trenberth et al. There was NEVER A NEED for excess heat to go into hiding until the 1960s.. And the RATE of deep ocean warming stayed constant or DECLINED during the "pause".. So someone obviously failed to call "alli alli oxen free" and release that hiding excess when they needed it
