The earths oceans are the greatest energy storage medium on the earth. The oceans store thousands times more energy than CO2 blocks. And that heat causes evaporation and the moist warm air rises and changes into ice giving up megajoules of radiant heat high above the 10% increase in CO2. If tons and tons of water vapor becomes ice, where or where did the megajoules of heat energy go that was in the heat of vaporization of all that water vapor. And that ice also reflects back megajoules of solar energy preventing it from heating any part of the earth. Ocean currents can have multiyear affects on weather. How long and strong know events like el nino last and occur is not well understood. Like all circular fluid motions, I'd proffer things like the timing of tidal forces, wind currents, jet streams and local cloud patterns storms on earth and the Sun may at random add or subtract to the stirring of the motions. Some spin events last fractions of hours, tornadoes, some last centuries, the red spot on Jupiter. Can one recall riding the tilt-a-whirl to comprehend how the random forces sometimes add to spin or stall that spin. The most violent circular fluid motions are caused by the larger differences in temperatures. And thus the impact of global warning of northern latitudes and not the tropical will result in more stable weather. And observations have confirmed the above.
