{edited 7/27/14 morning}
Being part-time retired means I'm part time working, and tis the season, calls keep coming in so I don't have near the time I need to put together a decent post. Though I have managed to continue the "interesting" conversation with "krischel" over at OurChangingClimate.com. I keep wanting to report on it, but it piles on too fast to do it justice. Still, this evening I do want to share the results of this lasted dog-bone I fetched:

"CC asks: “Do you even understand what Trenberth’s Travesty was all about?”
"K responds: "Yes, I do. It was about hiding uncertainty from the public, rather than being openly honest about it."

K linked me to Judith Curry's blog post of 3/29/2013 "Has Trenberth found the missing heat"
That in turn led me to Curry's, "Where's the "missing" heat? 1/7/2011 - Then on to a Roy Spencer's article of April 21, 2010:
"The problem is that the oceans have not been warming in response to this imbalance.
Trenberth and Fasullo seem to lean toward the possibility that this heat is “missing” somewhere, maybe temporarily trapped in the deep ocean.
Roger Pielke, Sr., has voiced his opinion that the heat could not have magically avoided the ocean temperature sensors, both in space and floating around the world’s oceans, which monitor ocean surface and upper layer temperatures."
Yet, from the information within the links I share, you can see Spencer has no foundation for claiming "oceans have not been warming…" Why? Because we are still waiting on the data from the all important Antarctic continental shelf. Making their focus on <700m disingenuous.
