Given these and other misrepresentations of natural oceanic variability on decadal scales (e.g., Zhang and McPhaden 2006), a role for natural causes of at least some of
the recent oceanic warming should not be ruled out.»
Regardless of whether or not the rapid
recent oceanic warming has occurred largely from anthropogenic or natural influences, our study highlights its importance in accounting for the recent observed continental warming.
They suggest that
the recent oceanic warming has caused the continents to warm through a different set of mechanisms than usually identified with the global impacts of SST changes.

3) In my comment https://judithcurry.com/2011/08/04/carbon-cycle-questions/#comment-198992 I have proved, that the
recent increase of CO2 content in atmosphere has been mainly caused by global
warming of
oceanic sea surfaces, especially in the areas where CO2 sinks on sea surface are; sea surfaces on the areas of CO2 sinks are
warming by lag compared to climate
warming.
On balance the evidence shows that solar and
oceanic variations are more likely the cause of
recent observations of
warming in the air than increasing CO2 in the air but the issue can soon be resolved by observing the global air temperature changes that occur during and after the extended cycle 23 and the probable weak cycle 24.
Scientists studying oceans demonstrate that the
recent warming, to the end of the last century, is part of the natural cycle of
oceanic oscillations and predict a thirty year cooling phase.
Recent observational surveys have shown significant
oceanic bottom - water
warming.
[Poitou & Bréon] Over the first 700 m there is surely no decrease of the
oceanic heat content, even if the
recent warming is less than the
warming of past decades: on the figure below in green, the time span since 2003 carefully selected by sceptics to support their talks
«In summary, our results emphasize the significant role of remote
oceanic influences, rather than the direct local effect of anthropogenic radiative forcings, in the
recent continental
warming.
The eastern tropical part of the Pacific basin is extremely
warm due to El Niño, but
oceanic warmth further to the north has been even more anomalous in
recent months.
And, moreover, the real world temperature movements are currently an increasingly good fit with the solar driver theory (subject to
oceanic modification) both as regards the
warming spell, the subsequent stall and the
recent turn downwards.
Even at the high end of this range, it is difficult to attribute more than a tiny proportion of the
recent increase in atmospheric CO2 to the rather limited amount of global — or
oceanic —
warming actually observed during the last century or so.
This assumption reduces the sea level rise in Table 10.7 by 0.02 m. Second, the present imbalance might be a response to
recent climate change, perhaps through
oceanic or surface
warming (Section 10.6.4.2).
