New Study Finds 75% Of Rising Ocean Heat Likely Natural, CO2 Not A Factor
Analysis shows ocean warming driven mostly by natural cycles, not greenhouse gas emissions.

Approximately 75% of the increase in the global ocean heat content must be natural, or attributed to an increase in solar forcing. [emphasis, links added]
The manifestation of what is commonly referred to as “global warming” is predominantly (93%) depicted as an increase in ocean heat content (OHC).
Only 1% is indicated by an increase in surface air temperatures. Rising OHC is the parameter of modern warming.
According to Levitus et al. (2012), the 1955-2010 temperature increase corresponding to the rise in OHC amounts to just 0.09°C in the 0-2,000 m layer.
