No Warming in the deep ocean

Joanne Nova is a climate change clown. She's claiming the deep ocean is cooling. To be fair, she does notice that the paper she cites is talking about the abyssal ocean, deeper than 2000 metres, but she she then makes a stupid claim that science can't find the missing energy that must be in the climate system after the recent "pause".

Erm, you're looking in the wrong place: when science says it has found the missing heat in the deep ocean, it means the deep ocean up to 1500 metres.

The denier bots who paste this stuff round the internet have left out the bit about deeper than 2000 metres completely and are using Wunnsch's paper to claim no warming in the deep ocean full stop:
"Wunsch et al claim a deep ocean cooling of 100th of a degree over the last 19 years, but admit that it could be noise."
Selective blindness.

Joanne Nova goes on to say that even though the deep ocean is cooling, any warming is due to undersea volcanoes. Parp! Parp!
