The UN IPCC and others with a vested interest in the global warming scare have not bothered to check what sea level evidence says about global temperature changes. Sea levels are very sensitive to temperature changes, and the oceanic indicators are currently reading "steady". So are all other thermometers. Apart from bubbles of heat surrounding big cities, the thermometers and satellites of the world have not shown a warming trend for 17 years. This is in spite of some inspired fiddling with the records by those whose jobs, research grants and reputations depend on their ability to generate alarming forecasts of destructive global warming. To explain this absence of warming on Earth's surface, the warmists now claim that "the missing heat is hiding in the deep oceans". This sounds like a water-tight alibi, hard to disprove because of our inability to measure "average ocean temperature" directly. However, the ocean itself is a huge thermometer - all we have to do is to read the...(Read Full Post)
