Anyone keeping up with the issue just knew the heat was going somewhere, the physics of the CO2 molecule have not changed. And the Earth's albedo is going down, not up.
"I apologize if I misled anyone." Ha ha ha, that's funny. As if suddenly you are interested in telling the truth. LOL Oh yeah, you're a reasonable guy....who just happens to deny basic climate science. LOL
Coauthor Felix Landerer of JPL noted that during the same period warming in the top half of the ocean continued unabated, an unequivocal sign that our planet is heating up.
No. They are not expected to be exactly proportional. Natural variations of course will result in something other than a smooth line. The air is just a small fraction of the earth's heat.
Wait!! What!! I thought these brilliant scientist already knew everything. They are just now found the above out!?
In fact, if one looks at the chart of ocean heat content above, one can see an increase in rate starting around '98.
