Yes, the oceans are taking on heat. But the energy imbalance remains until the CO2 is gone. The oceans will take up both the CO2 and the heat, but it is a slow (and slowing) process.

This is because of 2 centuries of greenhouse gas build-up (and greenhouse contributions from agriculture). Would some kind soul tell me that I’m wrong here?
