Sounds like you didn't read the article. "Our research revealed warming of the planet can be clearly detected since 1873 and that our oceans continue to absorb the great majority of this heat," said researcher and lead author Will Hobbs of the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies and the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science. "Currently, scientists estimate the oceans absorb more than 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases, and we attribute the global warming to anthropogenic (human-produced) causes." Oh well. Here's change in heat content since '55. Share this indicator: This figure shows changes in ocean heat content between 1955 and 2011. Ocean heat content is measured in joules, a unit of energy, and compared against the 1971-2000 average, which is set at zero for reference. Choosing a different baseline period would not change the shape of the data over time. The lines were calculated independently by three agencies: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and Japan's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
