Dr. Phil Jones – CRU emails – 5th July, 2005“The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant….”Dr. Phil Jones – CRU emails – 7th May, 2009‘Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.’__________________Dr. Judith L. Lean – Geophysical Research Letters – 15 Aug 2009“…This lack of overall warming is analogous to the period from 2002 to 2008 when decreasing solar irradiance also countered much of the anthropogenic warming…”__________________Dr. Kevin Trenberth – CRU emails – 12 Oct. 2009“Well, I have my own article on where the heck is global warming…..The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.”__________________Dr. Mojib Latif – Spiegel – 19th November 2009“At present, however, the warming is taking a break,”…….”There can be no argument about that,”__________________Dr. Jochem Marotzke – Spiegel – 19th November 2009“It cannot be denied that this is one of the hottest issues in the scientific community,”….”We don’t really know why this stagnation is taking place at this point.”__________________Dr. Phil Jones – BBC – 13th February 2010“I’m a scientist trying to measure temperature. If I registered that the climate has been cooling I’d say so. But it hasn’t untilrecently – and then barely at all. The trend is a warming trend.”__________________Dr. Phil Jones – BBC – 13th February 2010[Q] B – “Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming”[A] “Yes, but only just”.__________________Prof. Shaowu Wang et al – Advances in Climate Change Research –2010“…The decade of 1999-2008 is still the warmest of the last 30 years, though the global temperature increment is near zero;…”__________________Dr. B. G. Hunt – Climate Dynamics – February 2011“Controversy continues to prevail concerning the reality of anthropogenically-induced climatic warming. One of the principal issues is the cause of the hiatus in the current global warming trend.”__________________Dr. Robert K. Kaufmann – PNAS – 2nd June 2011“…..it has been unclear why global surface temperatures did not rise between 1998 and 2008…..”__________________Dr. Gerald A. Meehl – Nature Climate Change – 18th September2011“There have been decades, such as 2000–2009, when the observed globally averaged surface-temperature time series shows …

Ocean Heat Content -Another simple evidence based rebuttal of claims that missing heat is being carried down to the bottom of the ocean

Ocean Heat Content -Another simple evidence based rebuttal of AGW

http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com/2014/06/ocean-heat-content-another-simple.html

By Anthony CoxThe latest funny bit of science from the AGW world has been the assertion that the missing heat is being carried down to the bottom of the ocean. Leading lights of AGW science like England and Trenberth have both suggested the mechanism for this heat transfer to the bottom is wind. The absurdity of those positions are dealt with hereand here.But such obvious rebuttals of the science of AGW does not stop the alarmists from peddling their beliefs and mischief. In a recent online debate this graph was posted:The source of course is Cook’s SKS site and is highly misleading. How misleading it is revealed by Eric Skr on the same thread who has made some excellent points and posted some cogent graphs of Ocean Heat Content [OHC]. Eric noted this well-known NOAA graph was in Joules and not temperature:The vertical axis is clearly marked in Joules. Eric’s comment was: For the sake of discussion let’s accept the graph and all data as accurate. The lowest end of the graph is -10 Joules, the highest is +15 Joules. That gives us a 25 Joule delta. I see that they have scaled it at a factor of 10. 25 Joules converts to 0.01316412691165. We have to factor in the scale so we multiply by 10 and we come up with 0.1316412691165 – one tenth of a degree C between 1955 and 2014. Fabulous 1/10 of a degree over 50 years. Stunning amount of warming there.This is an excellent point and was noted by other astute commentators including Lucia at The Blackboard. Lucia also converted the Joule graph into temperature:That is astounding. Temperature at 2000 meters where England’s and Trenberth’s missing heat is supposed to be has gone up 0.09C since before 1960. Some missing heat. This is why the alarmists always post OHC graphs in Joules which have such bigger and scarier numbers. And that’s assuming the measurements are correct. Eric’s other valid point was that accurate measurements of OHC have really only been around since the ARGO measurements began in 2004.Using 2004 as a base Eric has been busy producing graphs of the OHC in different areas of the world at different levels based on the official ARGO data. The graphs of the ARGO data are simply another complete rebuttal of AGW science. They speak for …
