I did post a rebuttal to the ""missing heat" argument.
It was here, perhaps you missed it. There is no actual data that
proves the missing heat, rather this was "modeled" and therfore
was a "projection". You do understand the difference?
1.What is the probability that the upper ocean does not warm for eight years as greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise?
2.As the heat has not been not stored in the upper ocean over the last eight years, where did it go instead?
These question cannot be answered using observations alone, as the available time series are too short and the data not accurate enough.
We therefore used climate model output generated in the ESSENCE project, a collaboration of KNMI and Utrecht University that generated 17 simulations of the climate with the ECHAM5/MPI-OM model to sample the natural variability of the climate system. When compared to the available observations, the model describes the ocean temperature rise and variability well.”
Even if there was real "data"...which there is not...only simulations!
certainly you do not imagine that the entire concept of AGW has
been predicated on "missing heat", there is no empirical scence there...

It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global
warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.
Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all.
Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis,
according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies.

There is data. It does not "prove" it.

Well, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, you may be interested to learn that the AGW no
longer holds the majority...
I posted this pages ago, but will repost here

So, it is not the majority of science, there is no consenus, and there is not a majority
of scientists faking data, just a few that have huge funding, and they use "models"
to project future trends.

Perhaps you should read the comments below the article..
Kevin Trenberth past comments about ‘missing heat’ drew considerable attention. The phrase refers to the fact that the heat accumulation on Earth since about 2004 (e.g. from warming oceans, air, and land, and melting ice) that instruments were able to measure could not account for the amount of global heat accumulation we expected to see, based on the energy imbalance caused by the increased greenhouse effect, as measured by satellites at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere.
These new estimates of deeper ocean heat content go a long way towards resolving that ‘missing heat’ mystery. There is still some discrepancy remaining, which could be due to errors in the satellite measurements, the ocean heat content measurements, or both. But the discrepancy is now significantly smaller, and will be addressed in further detail in a follow-up paper by these scientists.
So what’s causing this transfer of heat to the deeper ocean layers? The authors suggest that it is a result of changes in winds related to the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and more frequent La Niña events.

Oh, read the comments and ignore the facts.
No thanks.

OK - ignore the comments and ignore the facts then.

THERE IS EVERY INDICATION FROM THE DATA, that the heat CAN BE MOSTLY ACCOUNTED FOR from the depths of the oceans.
A ‘reanalysis’ is a climate or weather model simulation of the past that incorporates data from historical observations
I do say, they are really good at the game they play....
This I deduce from just how many people are frightened they will
wake up soon and the ocean will be in thier back yard, and nevermind
that companies like Monsanto are given free reign to pollute the farmlands
with toxic chemicals while they sue the pants off little farmers.

When I think of all the HoAs across the country that must be doing the same thing, I cringe. Nobody even complains anymore. The puddles on the sidewalk after treatment have a "sheen" and dry to a yellow brown crust. They overuse it and there are literal piles of the stuff where they pause the machine and refill. I know that when it rains it all runs off down the drains marked "No dumping, flows to bay".
You have been called out for your lies on multiple occasions in this thread.
