2) Seems that there are self correcting processes related to global

The deep ocean temperature has decreased .05 degrees in the last two
years.
That's a massive cool-off as the trend has been for deep ocean temps to
go
up a small amount each year for the last forty. One theory is that the
hurricanes and cloud cover itself generated by the warmer waters of the
Atlantic actually cool the ocean. You take a major storm system that
pulls
warm moisture off the oceans surface, takes it up to the upper atmosphere
and cools it then dumps this cooled water back onto the ocean surface as
rain and we have a system that corrects for global warming of ocean
water.

Perhaps not, it's a complex system that we don't completely understand,
but that deep water cooling may not be a correction for global warming, it
might be a symptom.

Might be but then the trend wouldn't change as FAST as it has. The change
has occurred within two years without an indication of change before this.

Also, if change in gulfstream speed were the factor then there would a large
temperature gradient when comparing temp vs. latitude. With higher latitude
deep water temps being MUCH colder. I'm assuming that the temp was sampled
along a line of varying latitudes and the temp was down along the line for
an average of .05 colder.
