When I wrote «In either case, we see no evidence of any long term warming trend, in either the atmosphere or the ocean,» that should have read «long term warming trend due to CO2 emissions...» There may be some evidence consistent with long term warming in the oceans, but I can't see how that could be due to CO2, for reasons given above.

Atmospheric CO2 will very likely exceed 400 ppm in the next one or two decades given current carbon emission trends and the inertia of the energy and the whole socio - economic system.

«In a scenario of zeroed CO2 and sulfate aerosol emissions, whether the warming induced by specified constant concentrations of non-CO2 greenhouse gases could slow the CO2 decline following zero emissions or even reverse this trend and cause CO2 to increase over time is assessed.

«If current trends in CO2 emissions continue unabated,» says Caldeira, «in the next few decades, we will produce chemical conditions in the oceans that have not been seen for tens of millions of years.

Nevertheless, if the effects of CO2 emissions can reach the ocean only via the atmosphere as intermediary, we would expect any trends in the atmosphere to be followed by corresponding trends in the ocean, at a distance of: decades.
