Awunnerful awunnerful. An anthropologist and a mathematical ecologist. Y'all be thinking regional and basically two dimensional in what is a global, 3 dimensional problem. Land/atmosphere is basically 2 dimensional. There are blips on the surface like 29,000 foot mountains, but 3/4 the atmosphere lies below that. The oceans, covering 6/7 of the surface, are 3 dimensional. Volume becomes a factor. Lots of molecules to absorb/release heat. As a ball park example, a one degree change in land/atmosphere temperatures could be balanced by an opposite change of 0.14 degrees in surface ocean temperatures; but figuring in the total volume of the oceans, maybe only 0.0014 degrees.
