Guemas et al. (Nature Climate Change 2013) shows that the slower warming of the last ten years can not be explained by a change in the radiative balance of our Earth, but rather by a change in the heat storage of the oceans, and that this can be at least partially reproduced by climate models, if one accounts for the natural fluctuations associated with El Niño in the initialization of the models.

(2007)-RSB- to go back and closely reexamine the recent ocean heat storage data they had collected.

Others include, the role of the Sun (being the main heat source), the vast oceans which cover over 70 % of the Earth's surface (and the natural factors which determine the storage and release of CO2 back into the atmosphere), water - vapour being the dominant greenhouse gas comprising 98 % of the atmosphere, the important role of low - level clouds which is thought to be a major factor in determining the natural variation of climate temperatures (P.S. Significantly, computer - models are unable to replicate cloud - formation and coverage — which again — injects bias into model).

It seems that those who fear AGW (or at least some of them) do admit that it is not realistic to expect a planetary atmosphere such as ours to warm up oceans of water over the timescale required by AGW theory because of the huge volume and density of that water and thus the heat storage differentials.

When I say heat storage I am aware that the heat energy is not «trapped» in either atmosphere or ocean, merely that varying amounts of solar heat energy are delayed in the process of transmission through the ocean / atmosphere system.

There are several reasons for this; for example, aerosol emissions have risen, there has been a preponderance of La Niña events at the end of this timeframe, there has been increased heat storage in the deep oceans, and there was also an extended solar minimum.

This problem for AGW proponents is greatly enhanced if one considers the much more dense oceans as part of the planetary atmosphere for heat storage purposes.
