since a BP oil and gas exploration well blew

In addition,
since the global surface temperature records are a measure that responds
to albedo changes (volcanic aerosols, cloud cover, land use, snow and ice cover) solar output, and differences in partition of various forcings into the
oceans / atmosphere / land / cryosphere, teasing
out just the effect of CO2 + water vapor over the short term is difficult
to impossible.
[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate
out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback;
since the
oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator
to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)
That would be wonderful if at least Atlantic TC reduce or do not increase with GW,

to this thread,

In our paper, based on data from Jason Box from the Geologic Survey of Denmark and Greenland, we estimated that the Greenland ice sheet has already come
out of equilibrium
since the beginning of the 20th century and has
since added about 13,000 cubic kilometers of meltwater
to the
ocean.
Since the heat capacity of the land surface is so small compared
to the
ocean, any significant imbalance in the planetary radiation budget (the solar in minus the longwave
out) must end up increasing the heat content in the
ocean.
If in exceeds
out and the diffential MUST exist from top
to bottom of the atmosphere, then before the hotter air can migrate
to the deep
ocean, the daily temerature cycling will force the hotter air at the bottom into an overall equlibrium ie hotter air will rise — or more correctly
since GHGs have heated the air up more at the bottom, then the sun induced daily warming will add more heat
to the top, & less at the bottom
to force the equilibrium — ie effectively hot air rising even if not in actuality.

Since deep
ocean heat seems
to be the lynch pin of much of the debate I am most interested in what you find
out about the issue.
Ideally the zero point would be modulated by
ocean heat content and / or ssts,
since it is the comparison between energy into the
oceans vs. energy radiated back
out that determines warming or cooling, but we don't have much historical ohc or sst data so a fixed zero point would seem
to be the best that can be done.

out as cause the only reasonable physical explanation boils down
to ocean currents.
And as pointed
out above, increasing the temperature of the
oceans causing CO2

Since the tropical
oceans have flattened
out and solar does have its largest impact on the tropical
oceans, I would expect about the same possibly some increase in Arctic sea ice over the next decade Not a consistent increase by any means, but I doubt it will make it
to the 2 mkm ^ 2 and will trend towards a 6 million km ^ 2 average which is hardly «ice free».
Sea levels are rising (ask the Mayor of Miami who has spent tax monies
to raise road levels), we've had 15 of the hottest years eve measured, more precipitation is coming down in heavy doses (think Houston), we're seeing more floods and drought than ever before (consistent with predictions), the
oceans are measuring warmer, lake ice in North America is thawing sooner (where it happens in northern states and Canada), most glaciers are shrinking, early spring snowpacks
out west have declined
since the 1950's, growing seasons are longer throughout the plains, bird wintering ranges have moved north, leaf and bloom dates recorded by Thoreau in Walden have shifted in that area, insect populations that used
to have one egg - larva - adult cycle in the summer now have two, the list goes on and on.
The problem with that argument is that over long periods of time (like the six decades
since 1950), positive and negative phases of
ocean cycles tend
to cancel each other
out, and thus internal variability doesn't have a large influence on long - term temperatures.
For all I know, there may be heat coming
out of the
ocean that was stored there during the Roman Warm Period and has been sloshing around ever
since, but we can't even think about that now, according
to his own rules of RCA.

to blow more consistently from the south, through the Bering Strait, across the North Pole, and

Ocean relative
to the mean pattern in previous decades.
The models heavily relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not projected this multidecadal stasis in «global warming»; nor (until trained ex post facto) the fall in TS from 1940 - 1975; nor 50 years» cooling in Antarctica (Doran et al., 2002) and the Arctic (Soon, 2005); nor the absence of
ocean warming
since 2003 (Lyman et al., 2006; Gouretski & Koltermann, 2007); nor the onset, duration, or intensity of the Madden - Julian intraseasonal oscillation, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere, El Nino / La Nina oscillations, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation that has recently transited from its warming
to its cooling phase (oceanic oscillations which, on their own, may account for all of the observed warmings and coolings over the past half - century: Tsoniset al., 2007); nor the magnitude nor duration of multi-century events such as the Mediaeval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age; nor the cessation
since 2000 of the previously - observed growth in atmospheric methane concentration (IPCC, 2007); nor the active 2004 hurricane season; nor the inactive subsequent seasons; nor the UK flooding of 2007 (the Met Office had forecast a summer of prolonged droughts only six weeks previously); nor the solar Grand Maximum of the past 70 years, during which the Sun was more active, for longer, than at almost any similar period in the past 11,400 years (Hathaway, 2004; Solankiet al., 2005); nor the consequent surface «global warming» on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune's largest moon, and even distant Pluto; nor the eerily - continuing 2006 solar minimum; nor the consequent, precipitate decline of ~ 0.8 °C in TS from January 2007
to May 2008 that has canceled
out almost all of the observed warming of the 20th century.
