Calling the ocean “the 900-pound gorilla of global warming and climate change,” oceanographer Josh Willis of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., says he’s excited to finally see long-term climate projections homing in on the ocean’s role.
“How the oceans affect the great ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica could mean the difference between getting two feet and six feet of sea level rise in the coming century,” observes Willis
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I don’t buy it.
From the guy who just couldn’t accept that ARGO data showed decreasing sea levels.
“It must a problem with the data….”
I believe Willis et al reanalysis of ARGO was based on GRACE.
Nuff said.
“…could mean the difference between getting two feet and six feet of sea level rise in the coming century,” observes Willis
How exactly does Willis “observe” a prediction? (Outside of that little thingy that floats around inside a magic eight-ball, of course.)
Chicken Bones or Tea Leaves!
I’ll bite.. why does an oceanographer work for the JPL.. Underwater jet travel? I also wonder why the JPL has so much interest in climate. Is it a requirement of NASA that every department do something climate related?
When I was growing up, the Gorilla always weighed 800 pounds.
Inflation is everywhere.
