Study: Oceans have cooled in recent years
| Quote From Source: | Scientists say that despite temperature change, sea levels continue to rise
Despite the long term warming trend seen around the globe, the oceans have cooled in the last three years, scientists announced today.
The temperature drop, a small fraction of the total warming seen in the last 48 years, suggests that global warming trends can sometimes take little dips.
In the last century, Earth's temperature has risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.56 degrees Celsius). Most scientists agree that much of the warming in the past 50 years has been fueled by the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities.

I've had the thought - this is because of the melting ice dumping
cold water into the oceans... |
