Talking Argo Nots

Oscillations - in economics or in meteorology - are common. The problem lies in frequencies and intensities and whether a change has occurred in either. The Argos consist of about 3000 subs, each of them about the size of a fence post, that transmit temperature information about 40 times per year. They can't find global warming but this chapter is still open...Mackay, anyone?

"Perhaps The Climate Change Models Are Wrong

"Lorne Gunter, National Post Published: Monday, March 24, 2008

"When they were first deployed in 2003, the Argos were hailed for their ability to collect information on ocean conditions more precisely, at more places and greater depths and in more conditions than ever before. No longer would scientists have to rely on measurements mostly at the surface from older scientific buoys or inconsistent shipboard monitors...So why are some scientists now beginning to question the buoys' findings? Because in five years, the little blighters have failed to detect any global warming (emph added, JB) .

"They are not reinforcing the scientific orthodoxy of the day, namely that man is causing the planet to warm dangerously. They are not proving the predetermined conclusions of their human masters. Therefore they, and not their masters' hypotheses, must be wrong...In fact, "there has been a very slight cooling," according to a U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) interview with Josh Willis at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a scientist who keeps close watch on the Argo findings.... 'It may be that we are in a period of less rapid warming,' Dr. Willis told NPR...Yeah, you know, like when you put your car into reverse you are causing it to enter a period of less rapid forward motion. Or when I gain a few pounds I am in a period of less rapid weight loss."
