“The deep oceans have been cooling for the past two decades and [so] it is not possible to say whether changes in ocean heat adequately explain the “pause” in global warming”.
But the authors think Lloyd’s article is misleading. In an letter to the editor in today’s edition of the Australian, they say:
“The article by Graham Lloyd will likely leave a mis-impression with many of your readers concerning the substance of our paper.”
