How is the sun not responsible for warming the ocean?

The ocean has been steadily warming. What's responsible for this warming?

So according to your "calculations" the ocean contains way more than 1000 times the heat of the atmosphere. #winning

I'm ignoring your idiotic thinking that the ocean doesn't store solar energy. SMH.

Maybe you should read the OP again ... the question is what is WARMING the oceans ... stupid ... not why they aren't frozen solid ... if the Sun is constant, and the oceans are constant ... then it's only the atmosphere that's causing any change in temperature ...

Can't even read your own writing ... that's pathetic ... worse than your algebra ...

What temperature should the oceans be with 1,360 W/m^2 irradiation? ...

I think I'm going to go back to fuck off.

You really are a moron. The sun is remarkably constant, especially when compared to similar stars. The ocean temperature is determined by how the ocean distributes heat and affects planetary climate. We know this because we have proxies for the mean ocean temperature in glacial and interglacial periods and it isn't the same. The sun shines just the same in glacial and interglacial periods yet MOT changes.

the question is what is WARMING the oceans
The sun always is warming the ocean.

Maybe a better question is what determines the temperature of the oceans. And that would be how the ocean distributes heat and how that distribution of heat affects planetary climate because if heat distribution to the Arctic is disrupted glaciation occurs and that affects the climate of the entire planet such that the temperature of the ocean decreases even as the sun is warming the ocean through solar radiation.
 
Would it be great if Apu could explain how orbital cycles affect the planet's climate like that?

What changes to "how the ocean distributes heat" have taken place since 1850?

The planet warms when the Atlantic is circulating heat to the Arctic like it is today. Remove that heat from the Arctic and glaciation begins which then causes the planet to cool.
