    The graph is created on the ARGO website. ARGO is a system for observing temperature, salinity, and currents in the Earth's oceans. It is used by NOAA and all other similar national organizations for collecting ocean data.

    Argo consists of a fleet of approximately 8200 small (20-30 kg) drifting robotic probes (profiling floats) deployed worldwide. Profiling floats are commonly used in oceanography and become "Argo floats" only when they are deployed in conformity with the Argo data policy.

  3. Oh, so YOU created that mess. Good job of making it look like nothing. Maybe you are not so stupid heh? Shows that oceans are warming. Considering they are also rising means the heat content is skyrocketing.



    This chart shows the heat gain.

    No, the standard tools on the ARGO website created the graph using official measured data.

    The warming of the oceans are easily within normal natural variations. The slight increase of the heat content or temperature of the oceans is nothing to be concerned with.

    In many past periods of history the oceans were over a meter higher than they are today including around 550AD, 1100AD, and during most of the early Roman era.

  5. The warming of the oceans is neither normal in it's rate or it's cause. It certainly is something to be worried about because the oceans control the climate leading to more intense higher energy cyclones. Rising sea levels due to man's warming of the earth will drown cities and coasts. A one meter rise by the end of the century is very likely. When Greenland melts levels will go up 20 feet.

    The shit is about to hit the fan.

  7. MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—The so-called polar vortex caused hundreds of injuries across the Midwest today, as people who said “so much for global warming” and similar comments were punched in the face.

    Authorities in several states said that residents who had made ignorant comments erroneously citing the brutally cold temperatures as proof that climate change did not exist were reporting a sharp increase in injuries to the face and head regions.

    In an emergency room in St. Paul, Harland Dorrinson, forty-one, was waiting to be treated for bruising to the facial area after he made a crack about how the below-freezing temperatures meant that climate-change activists were full of shit.

    “I’d just finished saying it and boom, out of nowhere someone punched me in the face,” he said. “This polar vortex is really dangerous.”

    The meteorology professor Davis Logsdon, of the University of Minnesota, issued a safety warning to residents of the states hammered by the historic low temperatures: “If you are living within the range of the polar vortex and you have something idiotic to say about climate change, do not leave your house.”

    If you're tired of this pointless "the earth is warming" thread raise your hands
