If the deep ocean temp data points only go back to 2003, it's not
surprising that there is no measurable warming.
OTOH I've heard several reports that ocean currents have been slowing
measurably, which is not a good sign.

A few years ago, I had a long conversation with an oceanologist
studying the Atlantic (counter current?) -- the one that drops in the
Arctic and slowly drops to near the equator along the bottom of the
Atlantic. Interesting talk about something just starting to be
investigated.

There's so much we still don't understand about Momma Earth, so much
undiscovered, unknown.

Extrapolating from the eye-blink of time we've been studying the system
is like predicting exactly where a moving jet ski will be in five
minutes -- after watching it for a mere second.

For all we know, those "historical records" that "prove" the theories
have been wrongly interpreted because of assumptions based upon our
incomplete understanding.
