Perspectives on Temperature

The temperatures are rising quicker than previously thought, as recorded at stations at four different depths in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Uruguay. Between 2009 and 2019, the water there at points between 1,360m (4,462ft) and 4,757m deep warmed by 0.02-0.04C.

The change may seem minuscule, but it is significant.

“If you think about how large the deep ocean is, it’s an enormous amount of heat,” said Christopher Meinen, an oceanographer at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and lead author of the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
As I said, already reported by WUWT.
 
WUWT presented, verbatim and without commentary, the American Geophysical Union's own press release.
And yet they did not include this

Actually, AGU did not include it in their press release.

Not a problem. But WUWT was first and more comprehensive.

No they left out a major quote from the study author

Nope. They quoted the AGU press release verbatim in its entirety.
 
Sorry, but it was AGU who did not include it in their press release, which WUWT quoted in its entirety.
And WUWT also falsely comments on it.

So you agree with the study author

Good to know. Me too
 
WUWT offered no comment.
This headline opinion is exactly the opposite of what the lead scientists said in his quote

Claim: The deep sea is slowly warming


Deny that

It doesn't matter how big the print is, you've just been publicly crushed.

How? Its a massive temperature change according to the lead scientist


Deny that
 
Do you deny the lead scientist said this

Of course not.
