heat
the world didn't appear to warm during the 2000 to 2009 decade. yet measurements in the upper atmosphere say that more energy went in than came out. wtf? someone came up with a computer model that gives a plausible explanation. the la nina condition caused heat to move from the surface to deeper in the ocean. so yes, the earth heated up. but not the surface. i know we keep pretty close tabs on the ocean surface temperatures. i don't know how closely we monitor deeper ocean temperatures. it'd be good to test this model against reality.
