I think some such mechanism is necessary to account for the variations in mean global temperature associated with the oceanic oscilations.

Separate research published by the Met Office today shows emissions of CO2 will need to be reduced close to zero by the end of this century if a rise in the mean global temperature beyond 2C is to be avoided.
