Not exact matches

These rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have led to an increase in global average temperatures of ~ 0.2 °C decade — 1, much of which has been absorbed by the oceans, whilst the oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 has led to major changes in surface ocean pH (Levitus et al., 2000, 2005; Feely et al., 2008; Hoegh - Guldberg and Bruno, 2010; Mora et al., 2013; Roemmich et al., 2015).

Rising temperatures will cause outgassing of CO2 from the oceans, but its C12 / C13 ratio will be that of the atmosphere when sinking thermohaline circulation took the CO2 from the atmosphere ~ 1600 years ago, which is different from fossil fuels.

Because 5 gazillion Joules is a 0.2 C mixed layer (top ~ 300 meters) surface temperature rise (Figure 10, Historical ocean heat content calculated from HadSST and OHC, Levitus, 2009).

Thus, in a system where in the Mass of the materials contained is proportioned in the atmosphere at ~ 0.0000051 x10 ^ 24 kilograms & oceans at ~ 0.0014 x10 ^ 24 kilograms (*), then it need to be realised that alterations to Turbulence WILL release vast amounts of Kinetic Energy that can then be observed as a RISE or DECLINE in the measured «temperature» of those (various) materials constituting the System.

This is being observed as a leading rise in median temperature of the Land Surface with a lagged (by ~ 15 to 20 years) and muted behavioural trend observed in the median Temperature of the Ocetemperature of the Land Surface with a lagged (by ~ 15 to 20 years) and muted behavioural trend observed in the median Temperature of the OceTemperature of the Ocean Surface.

That is one of the leading hypotheses for the mechanism at work in the glacial - interglacial temperature driven CO2 rise, the ~ 800 yr lag is very similar to the ocean overturning timescale.

More succinctly, if deep ocean temperatures can naturally rise by 1 °C in 100 years without any change in CO2, then attributing changes in ocean temperature that are already «below the detection limit» for the last 200 years (or just ~ 0.1 °C since 1955) to anthropogenic CO2 forcing is highly presumptuous at best.
