Science: The Deep Ocean Plays A ‘Leading Role’ In Global Warming. It’s Colder Now Than During The 1700s.
By Kenneth Richard on 10. January 2019
Authors of a new paper published in the journal Science (Gebbie and Huybers, 2019) insist “the deep ocean ultimately plays a leading role in the planetary heat budget.” The global deep ocean has much less heat today than it had during both the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.

Earth does not have a 'heat budget'. ALL the energy absorbed by the Earth is emitted by the Earth (less a variation of plant life). It is not possible to measure the global ocean temperature.
