Unabated Planetary Warming

"Scientists are currently intrested in why temperatures at the surface of the ocean have been rising slower than in previous decades, even though we're emitting greenhouse gases faster than ever. Sea surface tempatures increased by about 0.1 degrees Celcius since 1951, but showed no significant trend between about 1998 and 2013, today's paper notes.  This raises an obvious question. If Earth is gainging heat, but the surface isn't warming very much, where is the heat going instead?"
