They have discovered the oceans are thermal sinks now. Nice.
The figures they have for ocean heating though, they compute to an atmospheric heating of about 90C. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. They're counting ocean temps for carbon sinks now, but I don't believe they're correctly accounting for the thermal variation in solubility of CO2 in water. It turns out that cold water holds SCADS more CO2 in solution than warm water does. In fact, that sort of explains the "atmospheric CO2 as a lagging indicator of warming" as the warmer water gives up its dissolved CO2 to the air. That water is as cool as it is because 15,000 years ago when it had been cold as a Republican's heart all over the planet for 140,000 years the oceans had become cool enough to absorb far more CO2. It takes a long time for that much water to heat up after the Earth's orbit comes to a warmer clime for the brief interglacials like the one we're in now. As the cold deep water surfaces and warms in warmer sun after up to 1600 years it's going to give up some of the CO2 it captured long ago. It takes many cycles to give up it all because most of the water isn't in a conveyor and the CO2 blanket keeps the air and sea warmer even as the orbital cycle has moved to a cooler zone.
They're including solar cycles too now, and orbital variations. That's nice because the Sun's periodic variability and the Earth's varying orbit are "settled science" in hard sciences. The Earth has moved out of our "sweet spot" where men can live in current numbers but it will take a while before our CO2 blanket is depleted. Wait until they hear about geothermal energy. They're going to have to "adjust" again.
Seriously, it's nice they're starting to refine the models to include some basic primitives that should have always been in there. Another hundred years and they might be able to be able to make a nice reliable prediction. By then it ought to start getting cold again and the fall into the ice is rather steep. Frankly climatologists need to get some instruction from thermal physicists on the quality of data from a thermocouple and the meaningfulness of averaging data in excess of the instrument's ability because they have their statistical analysis all wrong. The mean of many points of ignorance is not "data". At the level of their reportage the data is random. They rely too much on statistical analysis.
What is amazing to me how despite decades of "settled science" we keep getting these huge admissions that "we didn't include or correctly calibrate this overwhelming factor that hoses up our predictions" about every three months. If you add up all of these corrections for the last few years they make more than 100% of the result. Yet the science is "settled". The toe of that hockey stick was a ski jump to some astronomical projections and now it turns out it was an anomaly if it was even more than an observational error artifact, or data manipulation. Nobody screaming "settled science" now wants to talk about the thermal cataclysm that didn't happen back when that was "settled science".
Still folk feel free to write fear-mongering articles like Phil Plait's recent The Arctic Ice "Death Spiral" that dramatize the issue with phrases like "ice-free Arctic by 2040" without mentioning they mean "at the height of summer, for 15 minutes". "Death Spiral?" Really? And without mentioning that Antarctic ice is increasing so the net ice balance is the same - so no global net energy transfer whatsoever. Really, I expect more science and less art from Phil. Maybe he should stick with astronomy. He's good at that, and shouldn't turn his fame into a bully pulpit about stuff he doesn't understand.
Frankly, +2C isn't quite enough for me. I would like +6, or even +8. Thankfully after we run out of oil and gas we have Methane Clathrates to keep us warm and turn the wheels of industry. Evolution has found a way to prevent oil, coal and gas, but methane clathrates can be farmed. We might yet keep the planet warm enough to sustain our culture through the next cold period. That should get us to 40 billion humans, self-sustaining interstellar colonies, fusion energy and the like. If we don't kill each other first.
