I think we are well past that point. <img src=http://papundits.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/modelsss_thumb.png>
Global warming continues, the deep oceans (they're part of the globe, huh?) are warming at this time. The CO2 molecule has not "decided" to stop absorbing radiant energy at wavelengths above 4000 nm. Where did global warming go? The deep ocean, experts say <img src="http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=john-roach8F95D7A0-2190-78BB-8E86-96E9505F4CF2.jpg&width=600"> By John Roach, Contributing Writer, NBC News "The deep oceans have recently been soaking up much of the excess heat trapped under the ever-thickening blanket of greenhouse gases that humans pump into the atmosphere, according to a recent study. "The finding may help explain why the pace of global warming at the surface has slowed in recent years compared to the 1990s, a phenomenon that has left members of the climate science community scratching their heads. "The warming at the surface hasn't stopped, but it has been less than most of the climate models have been predicting," David Pierce, a climate researcher with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, explained to NBC News. "So the question is: Where is that extra heat going?" "Kevin Trenberth and colleagues at the National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalyzed ocean temperature records between 1958 and 2009."

What are you trying to do? Confuse the moron deniers with science? They get all the science they need from Faux News and Forbes magazine.
Excess heat. What exactly is extra heat? I think, if they are going to use such a terms, they must prove first that there IS extra heat.' Judging from you picture it looks like these so called scientists are making a claim without having uniform data from around the world. It's just a narrow claim possibly of just a minor region of the ocean. AGW Alarmists will go to extreme lengths to make their claims of global warming. The fact is - The Planet Is Cooling!!
