Harvard Study Shows Deep Oceans Are Actually Getting Colder

A Harvard study has found that large parts of the deep Pacific are getting colder, likely the result of a climate phenomenon that occurred hundreds of years ago.

Around the 17th century, Earth experienced a prolonged cooling period dubbed the Little Ice Age (LIA). The event brought chillier-than-average temperatures to much of the Northern Hemisphere, and was likely attributable to a multidecadal decline in solar activity.

Though it’s been centuries since this all played out, researchers say the deep Pacific still appears to be responding to the LIA cool-down.

“Climate varies across all timescales,” said Peter Huybers, a professor at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

“Some regional warming and cooling patterns, like the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period, are well known. Our goal was to develop a model of how the interior properties of the ocean respond to changes in surface climate.”

Yup,
Since I have a degree in puddle jumping, global warming is the power behind your wine cooler.
