NASA data shows oceans cooling since 2003?

You don't say! Gee (no - GTE)! Yet another example of how science and politics do not mix. By Ed Morrissey over at HA:
This comes as no great shock, since the Arctic has the most ice in its cap since 1979. However, the data tends to support those who theorize that warming and cooling cycles are nothing more than that, and undermine the argument for global warming as a consequence of carbon dioxide. It also explains why the last two winters have gotten longer and colder instead of shorter and warmer.
We've been feeling the colder, longer winters here in Michigan. Especially now. I was surprised that NASA admitted to sensor bias. One of the things you almost never hear about is sensor accuracy/experimental uncertainty in measuring the effect. They tend to only argue about the cause.

UPDATE: RedState has more.
