Given the very sad state of surface stations and UHI effects, the ocean heat is a cleaner way of getting at the net energy flow / loss into the system. (realclimate.org)
It is the change in net energy flow that is the reason for the warming and that change is due to the air conditioners being recently switched off. (realclimate.org)
