The sun.The sun warming the ocean and the ocean distributing the heat to the Arctic like it does every interglacial period.
Seriously the sun.

Yes.The sun.

Yup, you’re a an idiot who does know science.Yes.
"...One way that the world’s ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. The majority of radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the ocean, particularly in tropical waters around the equator, where the ocean acts like a massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation — it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. "
Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents in the ocean, regional temperatures would be more extreme — super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles — and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.Yup, you’re a an idiot who does know science.
I'd have to disagree with the second part of that contention.Yup, you’re a an idiot who does know science.
Says the Ocean Engineer who knows nothing about the role the ocean plays in driving the planet's climate.I'd have to disagree with the second part of that contention.
Europe is not the poles. The currents in the world's oceans are a great deal more complicated than a conveyor belt, which was a poor analogy in any case unless you think the purpose of a conveyor belt is to transport the belt.Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

You are literally arguing with NOAA at this point.Europe is not the poles. The currents in the world's oceans are a great deal more complicated than a conveyor belt, which was a poor analogy in any case unless you think the purpose of a conveyor belt is to transport the belt.
I am not. You may wish I was but you have a bad habit of letting your desires color what you claim has happened or what people have said.You are literally arguing with NOAA at this point.
That idiot boi is not under question.Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

You are disagreeing with NOAA.That idiot boi is not under question.
It is not the cause of our current human caused global warming.
Can you provide information to convince anyone of the fact that you’re not an idiot.
You absolutely are.I am not. You may wish I was but you have a bad habit of letting your desires color what you claim has happened or what people have said.
Unfortunately for your claim, you have zero evidence to support it. I and several other posters here, on the other hand, have repeatedly demonstrated that you have not even begun to present actual evidence supporting your claims and have instead demonstrated over and over again a complete failure understanding how basic science, logic, reason or statistics actually work.You absolutely are.
