Okay, let's stick with NASA. Last year, NASA published a report which said
that earth's oceans have significantly cooled since 2003
(http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006...n_Cooling.txt).

''Significantly''? 0.055 degrees is ''significant''?

''Researchers found the average temperature of the upper ocean rose by
0.16 degrees Fahrenheit from 1993 to 2003, and then fell 0.055
degrees Fahrenheit from 2003 to 2005. The recent decrease is a dip
equal to about one-fifth of the heat gained by the ocean between 1955
and 2003. They analyzed data from a broad array of ocean moorings,
floats and shipboard sensors, and supported their results with data
from NASA's Jason and Topex/Poseidon satellites.

Lyman said the recent cooling is not unprecedented. "While global
ocean temperatures have generally increased over the past 50 years,
there have also been substantial decadal decreases," he said. "Other
studies have shown that a similar rapid cooling took place from 1980
to 1983. But overall, the long-term trend is warming."
