the accumulating heat in the oceans and the fact that energy is advected to the Arctic via the oceans in much larger amounts than via the atmosphere and the extreme loss we've seen in Arctic sea ice volume as a result means nothing to the «skeptics».

When all the
heat accumulating in the oceans, warming the land and atmosphere and melting ice is tallied up, we see that global warming is still happening.
The overwhelming cause for the chart - topping warmth is the excess
heat trapped by greenhouse gases
accumulating in Earth's atmosphere.
While an exceptionally strong El Niño helped to boost temperatures early
in the year, most of the excess
heat has built up over decades as greenhouse gases have
accumulated in the atmosphere.

in a warming environment.
«The rise and fall
in CERES and ERA - Interim net radiation and upper - ocean
heating rates after 2007 (Figs 2 and 4) is entirely consistent with variability linked to ENSO (Fig. 3) and shows no evidence of a discrepancy between TOA net radiation and energy
accumulating in Earth's climate system»
total ocean
heat content to 2009 appears to be about 20 × 10 to the 22nd power J. which I take it means Levitus et.al could be ignoring 8 % or so of the
heat accumulating in the ocean.
Warmer ocean temperatures are also one of the hallmarks of global warming as most of the
heat the planet is
accumulating is ending up
in ocean.
As greenhouse gases continue to
accumulate in the atmosphere and trap
heat, Alaska could see its average annual temperature rise another 6 °F to 12 °F (3 °C to 7 °C) by the end of the century depending on the location.
