Wow longy if you really are a hydrologist then I can only guess that you are being deliberately misleading to try and win an argument. It doesn't reflect too well on you.

Of course ice in the interior of Antarctica is too cold to melt, but the ice on the Antarctic coast is much closer to 0 degrees and much of it has been melting.

You would also know that when ice that is on land melts into the oceans it increases the sea level.

You would also know that when water warms it thermally expands, which also increases the sea level.

As for the 97% I am far more inclined to believe a scientific organisation like NASA than a right wing ideological group funded by the fossil fuel industry.

Yes - that North Atlantic Sea Surface temperature graph is interesting.

But why just select one small portion of the world's ocean?  And why select just the tiny fraction of that ocean that is the surface temperature?

the same website you are quoting from has global ocean temperature as well:
0 - 100m:


and 0 - 700m

http://www.climate4you.com

Why didn't you show us these graphs instead?

make it fairly clear don't they, that the planet is warming.

And makes Longy's claim that:
"NOAA, NASA, MET and BOM all agree that there has been a "pause in global warming" seem very, ,very silly.

Doesn't seem to be any pause in the warming of the world's oceans, does there Longy?

You told a lie - didn't you Longy.
NOAA, NASA, MET and BOM DIDN'T all agree that there has been a "pause in global warming, did they.

You just made that up - then ran away like a little girl when called on it

"This is what the NASA release is addressing:

In the 21st century, greenhouse gases have continued to accumulate in the atmosphere, just as they did in the 20th century, but global average surface air temperatures have stopped rising in tandem with the gases. The temperature of the top half of the world’s oceans — above the 1.24-mile mark — is still climbing, but not fast enough to account for the stalled air temperatures.

Many processes on land, air and sea have been invoked to explain what is happening to the “missing” heat. One of the most prominent ideas is that the bottom half of the ocean is taking up the slack, but supporting evidence is slim. This latest study is the first to test the idea using satellite observations, as well as direct temperature measurements of the upper ocean. Scientists have been taking the temperature of the top half of the ocean directly since 2005, using a network of 3,000 floating temperature probes called the Argo array.

“The deep parts of the ocean are harder to measure,” said JPL’s William Llovel, lead author of the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. “The combination of satellite and direct temperature data gives us a glimpse of how much sea level rise is due to deep warming. The answer is — not much.”
In summary, NASA reports that deep ocean water temperatures neither explain the increase in ocean surface temperatures, nor why global temperatures appear to have paused in recent years."

Is there a reason you posted this quote without explanation?

What exactly are you trying to tell us?

Why are people bothering to argue with Longy? He is clearly a troll or mentally retarded.

perhaps you should open a crack in that mind of your just enough to see that the rebuttal to the 97% consensus nonsense was done by... climate scientists.  you know the type - seeking answers instead of ideology? No, perhaps you don't.

Your lot really struggle with ANY fact that disagrees or doesn't fit 100% in line with your doctrine, don't you?

Were you trying to be deliberately dishonest?
