Except this is an anonymous mongolean basket weaving forum. Nobody cares about your appeal to authority.
When you anonomized the only thing that should matter is how logical and factual someone is.

I still can't tell if you're serious BTW because you said you understand but demonstrate you don't. I'll explain. Simply put, matter is what holds heat energy. There's more matter in the ocean than in the atmosphere. Therefore the ocean can hold more of the energy from the sun. Also because the ocean is bigger it takes longer to heat up. So not only does the ocean take longer to heat, but it also holds more energy than the atmosphere. Now do you understand why I balked when you said something dumb like >2% of all global warming so therefore the earth warmed by 50°C, 90% of which went to the oceans. The oceans have warmed by 45°C over the years guys!
Even now I'm still not certain if you're just pretending to not understand this or actually don't as a "scientist."
