The Oceans are Warming Faster than Previously Thought; Rate of Heat Build-up Accelerating
So we keep hearing this phrase in the sciences —
faster than we thought. In the context of global warming, it’s not a phrase we want to hear. And when the world’s largest heat sink — the oceans —
are warming up faster than we thought, that’s kind of a big deal.
******
According
to new research published today in Science Advances,
the world’s oceans are warming up at an overall rate that is 13% faster than previously thought. Study authors used a new methodology to gain a more refined picture of overall ocean warming. And the results were unfortunately stark. For in addition to the oceans having gained more heat, the study also found that the rate of ocean warming is accelerating.
(Total ocean heat gain in the top 2000 meters as found in
Improved estimates of ocean heat content from 1960 to 2015.)
The American taliban ignores the reality of it but it just keeps on proving them as idiots!
Your post and your graph prove nothing. Your "scientists" have an extremely limited data set to work with, and in terms of planetary age, it falls way short.
its amazing how many racist swamp people have degrees in climate science
/---- I've never met any racist swamp people so I wouldn't know. So where is Al Gore's degree in Climate Change? And your's for that matter.
I dont have one? I just listen to people that do.... unlike you angry racist swamp people
/---- Yeah me too. Here's a partial list of the scientist I listen to:
Scientists questioning the accuracy of IPCC climate projections
These scientists have said that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

Scientists arguing that global warming is primarily caused by natural processes
Graph showing the ability with which a global climate model is able to reconstruct the historical temperature record, and the degree to which those temperature changes can be decomposed into various forcing factors. It shows the effects of five forcing factors: greenhouse gases, man-made sulfate emissions, solar variability, ozone changes, and volcanic emissions.[74]
These scientists have said that the observed warming is more likely to be attributable to natural causes than to human activities. Their views on climate change are usually described in more detail in their biographical articles.
