That is because more than 90% of the excess energy coming to the Earth from greenhouse gases goes into the ocean waters. My colleagues and I have a new publication, which better characterizes this heating and also compares climate model predictions with actual measurements.

Creamy Cashew Veggie Pot Pie. Flaky Biscuit Crust. Comfort Food.
A great recipe if you're cooking vegan. After several months vegan it was fantastic to be able to eat a pie without any guilt. After putting a few hours of love into it, it came out brilliantly giving a crumbly pastry, which if you use unrefined coconut oil rather than refined has a subtle taste of coconut, with a filling thats both creamy and nutty.
