Deep Ocean Storage: “Was it warm for you? It was warm for me”
Dr Bob Henson from UCAR-NCAR AtmosNews reviews and summarizes “An apparent hiatus in global warming?” by Professors Kevin Trenberth and John Fasullo. They highlight storage of heat in deep ocean. That may be good for now, but as Professor Scott Doney … Continue reading
