Climate change doomsayers have claimed that recent record-breaking ocean temperatures point to a surge, or an accelerated break from the long-term trend of Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) in the earth's oceans.
Not so, says a major new study by a panel of five scientists recently published by the journal Nature. Using changepoint models, which are specifically designed to analyze large data sets, the panel found no evidence of a statistical GMST surge. So while ocean temperatures continue to rise, they are doing so at the same rate that they have for the past 50 years.
