You did suggest that. You offered it as a reason we should believe the ocean heat content is increasing at an increasing rate.
I said nothing of the sort, but it doesn't take a science mind to understand that the radiation from the sun is being absorbed by the ocean, does the temp of the GOM at Houston stay constant year round??? What happens to the sun's radiation? Right.. much is reflected back out to space, but it must travel through our atmosphere which has certain heat transfer properties. One of those properties is thermal conductivity which will be reduced if the atmosphere becomes less heat conductive as it would with increasing CO2 content.....

I don't understand where you're coming from........are you trying to argue that ocean warming hasn't been shown to have occurred hence it isn't evidence for global warming....and grade school kid knows that the water he is swimming in gets warmer the longer the sun shines on it....
