"Trenberth and Willis agree that a few mild years [of sea temperatures] have no effect on the long-term trend of global warming" - that is the final conclusion of the article you posted.

Have we been here before? Of yeah, you just called their conclusion a lie. You cite the authors to back up your claims that the ocean is not warming, but as for the authors own conclusions about the data, you say 'they're just after the money'.

Let me try one more time. You are making a fundamental error of attributing a small variance over a short time period to a change in trend. Variances in temperature are expected, even predicted, with some years falling within "normal" temperature, but not invalidating the trend. This is a basic concept of statistics. It would be equally wrong to take a few years of warming and say, "Global Warming!". Instead we have hundreds of years of data to establish normal cycles and deviations.
