The Skeptical Science kidz are up to their usual paid-propaganda tactics with a new post claiming that a much bigger graph is needed to show the0.09C global ocean warming over the past 55 years .

Heclaims that there is no dispute about CO2 trapping heat. But thats just a diversion from the real issue: CO2 sensitivity and feedbacks. Of course CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
