The physics part is that to first order, you expect the rate of continental ice melt to increase with temperature, and also the rate at which heat penetrates into the ocean below the mixed layer (for the mixed layer indeed we use a term relating temperature to sea level, not its rate of rise).

There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

If you want to explain the hiatus on the basis of heat flow from the atmosphere to the ocean within a period of one or two years, you have to explain how the laws of physics are cancelled at the same time.

A new modeling study by the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington, replaying last summer's Arctic Ocean ice conditions with and without the storm, shows that the short - term influence of all that ice churning probably played almost no role in the final ice retreat in September.

But they raise a long series of problems including the fact that major ice melt events do not seem to have occurred at the «right» times, that fresh water comes in at the edges mainly, not in the middle of the ocean, and that the models do not properly represent the physics of the upper ocean.

«The Earth is losing an incredible amount of ice to the oceans annually, and these new results will help us answer important questions in terms of both sea rise and how the planet's cold regions are responding to global change,» study researcher John Wahr, a professor of physics at the University of Colorado, said in a press release issued by the Boulder campus.

So now we have a whole generation, because it was deliberately introduced into the education system, who believe the idiotic fisics «that visible light is capable of heating the water in the oceans», when in the real world and real world physics, a) water is a transparent medium for visible light, it doesn't absorb visible light at all but transmits it through unchanged, and b) visible light in the real world works on the electronic transition level on meeting matter, this level is tiny, it isn't capable of moving whole molecules of matter into vibration which is what it takes to heat water.
