Now we are also told that they underestimated the amount of heat going into the oceans, so we should be seeing more sea level rise then predicted.
Or perhaps climate scientists have an explanation for how heat goes into the oceans and the warmer water doesn't cause water to expand?
I can't wait for the AGW cultist excuse to why the oceans aren't sucking in all that heat which is missing. Maybe they'll claim that the missing heat that got sucked into the oceans passed through it straight into the earth's crust where it is just accumulating for eco-judgement day.
Gary F - This whole "the ocean is sucking up all the heat" theory is nothing but a concocted excuse to explain an unexpected failure of the beloved AGW climate models a 17 year halt in global warming and a complete embarrassment from the infamously debunked and completely discredited Mann hockey stick graph to project , right? I wonder what kind of excuse the AGW cultist researchers are going to spew to explain a failure of the explanation of another failure is going to be. We shall see what they claim is going to be the reason why the missing heat is not going into the oceans like they wanted to believe it was.
Yep, more rubbish, that your denier blog, hockeyschtick tries to spin.
But this is the last paragraph of the conclusion section of the actual paper your denier blog is referencing.
"Although the stalled upper ocean heat content during the last decade has reduced the rising trend of the GMSL, the global sea level kept rising because of the contribution of the accelerated melting of land ice in the warming climate. This means that if the land ice keeps melting at the same or faster pace due to anthropogenic warming, the world ocean will experience a signi?cant accelerated total sea level rise when the steric sea level transitions to a stage similar to the period during 1993–2003."
It seems they are saying there has been a change in the contributions to overall sea level rise, which is not what your denier blog is pretending the paper states.
The only question then, is this because they didn't understand what the paper was actually about or are they deliberately trying to be misleading, based on long exposure to the practices of denier blogs I lean towards the later.
Yeah, it would look like that if you stopped your time series in 2012. Do you think they would get the same conclusions if they had used the most recent data?
The decrease in 2012 was due to the heavy precipitation that year, and all the flooding. Heavier rains are a sign of an increased water cycle, which is a sign of global warming. Oh to hell with it. What's the use pointing anything rational out to you. It's all the work of leftists coming to take your women and take your guns. Run! Run! Run!

Sea level rise has not decelerated, slowed or other wise reversed
"Core samples, tide gauge readings, and, most recently, satellite measurements tell us that over the past century, the Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) has risen by 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). However, the annual rate of rise over the past 20 years has been 0.13 inches (3.2 millimeters) a year, roughly twice the average speed of the preceding 80 years." http://ocean.nationalgeographic.com/ocea...
You cannot be serious.
Under what conditions would you expect constant acceleration? You certainly never heard any scientist suggest something so stupid - so, it must have come from one of the expert liars you think so highly of.

>>Update 1: Gary F. well it makes the heat going into the oceans a myth now<<
How? You owe people an explanation for that particularly insane statement.
Don't bother looking in your linked article because it does not provide an explanation of the physical processes that get you from deceleration in increasing sea level to ocean heat-uptake being a myth. You're going to have to figure that out for yourself.
It's due to ENSO, argues this recent paper:

BTW, sea level decelerating does not disprove Global Warming: it is still rising.
Edit @ Kano:

That is not true. That is what those anonymous folks over at your second link argue but the complete abstract of the paper does not support that claim: "Deceleration is due to slowdown of ocean thermal expansion during last decade."
If you do not know what deceleration means (and it sure looks like you don't), then I suggest you look it up in a dictionary. It does NOT mean that heat no longer goes into the oceans nor does it mean that heat now comes out at a higher rate than that it goes in. Your claim that this paper makes 'heat going into the oceans a myth' is therefor false and certainly not supported by this very paper.
decelerating not reversing?

This makes the heat is going into the oceans a bit hard to believe
