Why is the Ocean Heat Annual Increase Seven Times that of Global Warming?
Abstract
Errors, in The Earth’s internal heat is leaking into the ocean in amounts that exceed the global warming heat, are addressed. The estimate of global warming is about 0.4°C too low, which causes an overestimate of the time until global warming reaches the IPCC 1.5°C limit. The ratio of the ocean heat content to the global warming heat is corrected. How seafloor stresses may be caused by the increasing temperature differences between the land-ocean and the seafloor is hypothesized.
