On the other hand, if the ice shell is sufficiently thick, the less intense interior
heat can be transferred to warmer ice at the bottom of the shell, with additional
heat generated by tidal flexing of the warmer ice which can slowly
rise and flow as do glaciers do on Earth; this
slow but steady motion may also disrupt the extremely cold, brittle ice at the surface to produce the chaos regions.
Interestingly, those same winds are thought to be part of the mechanism burying
heat in the Pacific Ocean, leading to the
slower pace of
rising temperatures at the planet's surface in recent decades.
Global surface temperatures have continued to
rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the
rise in global
heat content has not
slowed at all.
Sparklers ignite the night sky; five explosions go off in
slow - mo sequence like the frames of a thriller; a
rose flares open in the
heat.
If it would warm 5 degrees this century, which seem quite possible, that would be about 100 times faster than the average rate during the last deglaciation, although I suppose ocean
heat content
rises somewhat
slower.
Ideas that commonly surface include perturbations to the earth's orbit by other planets, disruptions of ocean currents, the
rise and fall of greenhouse gases,
heat reflection by snow, continental drift, comet impacts, Genesis floods, volcanoes, and
slow changes in the irradiance of the sun.
However, if the air continues to cool below freezing point then, although the nett flow of
heat from the water is greater while the water is in the process of freezing, the air temperature does not
rise and will continue to tend to fall, albeit at a
slower rate.
I haven't looked at the research paper in detail, but the general
slowing of sea level
rise after 2004 - 2005 fits in with the sharp acceleration of
heat uptake into the ocean during 2000 - 2005, and a
slower rate of
heat uptake thereafter.
The recent trend in sea level
rise is consistent with ocean
heat uptake, so we shouldn't be surprised that the recent trend in sea level
rise has
slowed somewhat too.
If the air temperature starts
rising then the rate of
heat flow from the water to the air
slows down and the water consequently stops freezing, so the latent energy falls and so the temperature tends to stabilize at that point.

The IPCC projections of sea level
rise are based largely on the
slow, steady and inexorable thermal expansion of the oceans (as water
heats, its volume increases) with some additional contributions from the melting of mountain glaciers (almost all of which are expected to be gone by mid century).
Heat melts Rock like ice and this thuderhead of magma rises high in the geo - sky to bring heat to sea level, thus balancing the core «s heat output when it's radiative rate is slowed by the R - value of the gas atmosph

People are already experiencing the impacts of climate change through
slow onset changes, for example sea level
rise and greater variability in the seasonality of rainfall, and through extreme weather events, particularly extremes of
heat, rainfall and coastal storm surges.
Global surface temperatures have continued to
rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the
rise in global
heat content has not
slowed at all.
Any temperature
rise that would occur due the
slowing of the Northern and Southern Pacific equatorial currents («gets
heated day after day by the equatorial Sun») would be countered by the increase in cloud amount, which would reduce downward shortwave radiation.
«In our mor recent global model simulations the ocean
heat - uptake is
slower than previously estimated, the ocean uptake of carbon is weaker, feedbacks from the land system as temperature
rises are stronger, cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases over the century are higher, and offsetting cooling from aerosol emissions is lower.
But by using it as analogy for the earth climate (not my idea) it would just demonstrate temperatures DO
rise when «material» is added which
SLOWS heat transfer to the outside while there's no similar
slow down of
heat supply.
The sea level
rise commitment due to thermal expansion has much longer time scales than the surface warming commitment, owing to the
slow processes that mix
heat into the deep ocean (Church et al., 2001).
«The overall
slow decrease of upwelling SW flux from the mid-1980's until the end of the 1990's and subsequent increase from 2000 onwards appear to caused, primarily, by changes in global cloud cover (although there is a small increase of cloud optical thickness after 2000) and is confirmed by the ERBS measurements... The overall slight
rise (relative
heating) of global total net flux at TOA between the 1980's and 1990's is confirmed in the tropics by the ERBS measurements and exceeds the estimated climate forcing changes (greenhouse gases and aerosols) for this period.
Whether it
heats up,
slows down or stops entirely, there are always ways to
rise above and continue to succeed.
