That the climate system could switch quickly to a state where slightly less warming of the atmosphere is taking place and more energy is being retained in the oceans makes perfect sense.

Volume, in contrast, is crucial in determining the vulnerability of Arctic sea ice to rapid future reductions (since thin ice is much more prone to react strongly to a single warm summer, making single very - low sea - ice summers more likely), and the thickness of the ice determines the exchange of heat between ocean and atmosphere.

that some level of statistical significance can be achieved for periods shorter than 30 years, but not 15 years because fluctuations in things like solar + ocean - atmosphere heat exchange make it hard to say with high confidence what's signal and what's noise.

@ 48 If your speculation is correct, I assume that another consequence would be that, if / when concentrations of greenhouse gases start to drop, corresponding reductions in surface ocean / land temperatures would take place at a much slower rate than would otherwise be the case: the surplus heat stored in the deep ocean will gradually make its way to the ocean surface, and continue to warm the atmosphere for decades, if not longer.

To make any sense, the net emissions by humans have to be compared with the net uptake by oceans and forests and atmosphere, not with the turnover rate of a cycle, which is an irrelevant comparison.

Since Trenbreth did not provide a mechanism for the heat to go from the atmosphere to the lower levels of the ocean, and since we are talking about the same amount of heat, that which would make the atmosphere not climb in temperature for 10 to 15 years, it is much much more reasonable to assume the heat went from the surface of the ocean to Trenbreth's depths (the ocean simply overturned).

Much of the extra carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by humans over the past two hundred years is being absorbed into the ocean and slowly making the ocean more acidic.

This makes sense because it takes time to equilibrate an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere with the ocean, and the shallow ocean responds faster than intermediate or deep water, so the ratio of the land to marine signals is therefore proportional to the carbon emissions rate.
