On 10/26 I posted links to the work of Don J. Easterbrook, Professor
Emeritus geomorphology; glacial geology; Pleistocene geochronology;
environmental and engineering geology; Western Washington University.
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~dbunny/research/global/index.htm
Please read the following paper:
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~dbunny/research/global/geoev.pdf
At the end of this paper, Easterbrook talks about cooling ocean
temperatures in the Pacific.
On 10/29 I posted the following links about the growth of the polar Ice Caps:

It does appear to be true that 2007 was the lowest extent of the
Artic ice cap recorded, but 2008 is running about 9% ahead of 2007,
and the winter has just begun. And the antartic Ice cap has been
growing for several years.
Or how about this from a very green website:

NASA scientists puzzled as data show oceans actually cooling

This climate change thing sure is complicated. Researchers with
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory studying temperature changes in the
world's oceans are finding no evidence of heating up in the last 5
years or so.
Scientists have been working with a program called Argo, which looks
at ocean temperatures using robotic buoys which dive down to three
thousand feet to collect data. Since the study began in 2003,
measurements have not only failed to find evidence of warming, but in
fact have picked up a slight cooling trend.
The results of the study are especially significant since 80-90% of
global warming involves the oceans, which retain far more heat than
land.
The findings are difficult to reconcile with surface readings, which
show consistently rising temperatures. JPL scientist Josh Willis
recently said in an interview with NPR that the phenomenon may have
something to do with heat flowing from the water into the air (which
causes the weather phenomenon known as El Nino), or it may reflect a
a brief hiatus in an overall warming trend. Other possibilities are
that researchers aren't interpreting the data properly, or that the
heat is going deep into the ocean where it isn't being measured by
the Argo buoys.
Even this is being contested, but it does raise some questions about
what is really going on with the Earth's climate.
Perhaps its time to focus on a very controversial topic - Can Mobile
DTV save broadcasting in the U.S.?
We can check back on the climate change story in a few hundred years
when we have enough data to put recent changes in the Earth's climate
in proper context....
