The past four years have seen
above normal air temperatures around the globe. Glaciers are melting
fast and the sea level has risen by 1/2 an inch - a big rise in such a
short period of time. Given these facts scientists were
surprised that data collected from 3,000 aquatic robots
swimming around in the world's oceans have shown no rise in sea water
temperatures since 2003. ZERO. There are a number
of possible explanations. Heat may be moving out to space. It
may be trapped in deeper waters not measured by the buoys.
Scientists are unsure what's really going on.
