Actually, I thought about it and having oceanic circulation does allow this behavior (that the surface temperature can decline when forcing is declining even while it is still less than the equilibrium temperature)-- it makes sense because the deep ocean may still be pulling the surface temperature toward a much lower temperature.

Since, if I remember correctly, subduction generally occurs when a dense oceanic plate dives under a less dense continental plate, you'd have to get the waste to the seafloor and then bury it there in such a way that it wouldn't leak into the water before it sank deep enough into the Earth to be safely forgotten about.
