The sun is constant yet ocean temperatures increase and decrease. Why?

The power of the Sun at the Earth, per square metre is called the solar constant and is approximately 1370 watts per square metre (W/m2). The variation in the solar constant has been about 0.1% over a period of about 30 years.

Mean ocean temperature during the last four glacial cycles have changed by as much as 6C.

If solar output is constant during glacial and interglacial periods, why does the mean ocean temperature change by as much as 6C?

Man wasn't around back then.

Was the atmosphere responsible for the ocean warming and cooling by 4C to 6C? If so, how did the atmosphere do it?

Were ocean currents responsible for the ocean warming and cooling by 4C to 6C?? If so, how did ocean currents do it?
 
There are a lot of factors that go into climate and weather. sun spots, asteroids, comets, volcanic eruptions, subtle changes in the earth's rotation and revolution around the sun. It just isn't one thing.

That's why the weather changed so much from a million years ago when the dinosaurs were roaming the earth- even though SUV's hadn't even been invented yet.

Actually it is. When heat is circulated from the Atlantic to the Arctic the planet warms. When that circulation gets disrupted, the planet cools. Check out thermohaline circulation.

All of those causes listed are the work of the god, according to the Christian theory. They will then maintain that is indeed 'all one thing'.

If the sun is constant why does the ocean warm in an interglacial period and cool in a glacial period?

Um, er, manmade CO2? Let me check IPCC....yup American CO2!
 
Did they teach you in Russia that the ocean contains 1000 times more heat than the atmosphere? Or were they more interested in teaching you how the Ukrainians starved themselves during the great famine?

So it takes much more energy to heat the ocean......so how did the atmospheric CO2 heat the deep ocean by 1F?? Doesn't that mean the atmospheric temperature had to rise 20F ?
 
The energy that earth receives from the sun is not constant. Not only is it influenced by the seasonal elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun, and the 'wobble' of the earths rotation. It is also influenced by the irregular output of the sun itself.
Thread is based on a logical fallacy.

It's funny watching him argue against climate science that isn't based upon the atmosphere.

The whole Climate Change scam is amusing to me.

Even after IPCC tells us to our face that its has nothing to do with the environment but it's a wealth redistribution scheme
 
There's zero physical evidence for that.

As has been so often the case, you once again demonstrate that you haven't the faintest fuck of an idea what you're talking about.
