Given that global surface temperatures haven’t warmed for the past twenty years or so, our minders have been telling us for a while now that the reason is that all that excess heat’s been going into the deep oceans. (Nobody predicted that, but never mind.)
Whoops! Not so, according to NASA. More here.

Maybe they should ask a woman where it is. I find that usually helps.
Because she’s moved it from where you put it.
Heh! :)
Your assertion that “global surface temperatures haven’t warmed in the past twenty years or so” is wildly incorrect.
All five of the five hottest years on record have been within the past sixteen years. 2014 is on track to eclipse 2010 as the hottest year to date. Every month this year from April through September is the hottest month on record (except July, which was the fourth hottest July so far). Etc., etc.
Pah. Even the IPCC, and stalwarts like Phil Jones, acknowledge that there is a “pause” that wants explaining; global surface temperatures have been effectively flat this century. The models that were sold to us as being a rock-solid basis for all those horrifying predictions simply got it wrong, and there’s been a mad scramble to account for it.
As for “hottest years”, I’ll remind you that during the Medieval Warm Period there was farming in Greenland.
