NATURE WORLD NEWS - CLIMATE CHANGE - TRAPPED HEAT OCEAN full article link.
Part of the article:
"For the study, researchers worked with their colleagues at University of Pennsylvania to analyze data from the past 60 years.
They found that the ocean surface has been getting less salty in the past few decades, which has prevented the water underneath from mixing with the top layer. Thus, the heat trapped in deep oceanic water hasn't had an escape route in several years.
"Deep ocean waters only mix directly to the surface in a few small regions of the global ocean, so this has effectively shut one of the main conduits for deep ocean heat to escape," says Casimir de Lavergne, at McGill University and lead author of the paper."
