That's what I'm saying... for the ocean temp to increase, CO2 AGW theory says that you'd need to see a HUGE rise in air temp (especially up high and at the poles).
They keep showing the oceans increasing, but not showing that the air temps (especially upper air temps) increased as much for a reason. (Lower air temps are more influenced by weather and the ocean temps than climate).
My points aren't that it isn't warming. It's just that the warming we're getting is wrong to match what CO2 AGW theory said would happen.
Because the oceans are receiving energy from the sun and losing it to the air. The primary heat source isn't the atmosphere, it's the sun. The change in the atmosphere is just reducing the rate of heat loss.
You've got this flipped. It's not the air heating the oceans. It's more the oceans heating the air. The earths surface absorbs ~2x more energy from the sun than the atmosphere does.
