Axil, this "thermal Inertia" argument is untenable and does not fit the facts.
In order for your thermal Inertia argument to be correct, you need to show steady temperatures over the years as the extra heat is supposedly being "absorbed" by the ocean waters. Fact is, global temperatures were increasing for serveral years starting in the 70s up to approx 2000, then temps remained steady. Thermal Inertia can not explain why this is happenning. But, instead of acknowledging that there may be something seriously and fatally wrong with their models, these supposed experts continue with the charade and claim the "settled science" argument and continue pushing the lie of AGW. And we have lackeys in this forum arguing that these experts must be right because they spend their days and nights studying this subject and they undertstand it more fully and more correctly even though their explanation does not fit the observed facts. And it has never occured to this lackey that these supposed experts might be LYING. What sort of logical fallacy argument is this? "Yea ... our experimental data do not fit our models but we are still right because we have PhDs and we've been studying this problem for decades." This is the argument Jed wants you to swallow. Does this sound like the scientific method to anyone in this forum?

Jed Rothwell The primary reasons why the climate is not heating up faster than it has been include oceanic thermal inertia and industrial negative aerosol forcing. There is a lot of water in the ocean and there still is loads of ice spread around the world that can cool that water. In the case of oceanic thermal inertia, the good news is that because the oceans are so large, and take so much time to absorb the thermal energy, we are warming more slowly than would otherwise occur. The bad news is that the oceans not only take up heat slowly, the also dissipate heat slowly. So even if we are able to reduce the greenhouse gases in the earth atmosphere to reasonable levels (closer to 300ppm CO2) the thermal inertia of the oceans will still take quite some time to respond and cooling down the earth will take considerable time. On the bright side, We still have some time to get LENR and zero point energy(ZPE) extraction developed and deployed to replace fossil fuel burning before all the ice is gone.

I've written hundreds of posts on that already. That the IPCC forecast has been falsified for the average of the models and most of the individual models you can read about on Lucia's blog at http://rankexploits.com/musings/ I'm not at all sure that global temperature is even a very meaningful number when you think about it. I lean towards what Prof. Syun-Ichi Akasofu writes here: http://people.iarc.uaf.edu/~sakasofu/pdf/two_natural_components_recent_climate_change.pdf At least his forecast is a lot closer than IPCC's.
