Isn't the main problem that, even if we stopped adding any fossil - fuel - derived CO2 to the atmosphere, the ocean circulations haven't yet reached «steady state» — i.e., a stable thermocline and deep ocean temperature — and therefore THAT is the source of the Hansen et al. «heat in the pipeline»?

Naturally this article fails to mention that since the hydrosphere is 271 times as massive as the atmosphere, if oceans are absorbing the heat they are likely to moderate AGW into a nonproblem, as the average ocean temperature has only changed by.1 degrees in 50 years, an amount that is probably smaller than measurement error.

If more of the heat from global warming is going into the ocean, does that reduce the amount of surface warming (both transiently and long - term) that we should expect from doubling CO2?

If we had launched the Triana / DSCOVR climate satellite ten years ago, instead of mothballing it, we'd probably have robust answers to the energy budget question, and we could get the ocean heat change by calculating the (total energy change)- (atmospheric warming).

Natural variability is primarily controlled by exchange of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere, but it is an extremely complex process and if we want to develop better near - term predictive skills — which is looking not at what's going to happen in the next three months but what's going to happen between the next year and 10 years or 20 years or so — if we want to expand our understanding there, we have to understand natural variability better than we do today.
