Storms, droughts, Mediterranean hurricanes: Are marine heatwaves making natural disasters worse?

The pace of ocean warming has almost doubled since 2005. Marine heatwaves are not only devastating for life under the sea but also on land.

[OldScientist]

If the heat energy content of the World's oceans has increased by 400ZJ since 1960, and the atmosphere has absorbed about ¹/100 th that amount, there is no way an increase of 100ppm of CO2 into the atmosphere has forced that much heat into the ocean. The atmosphere does not hold enough energy. It is not possible for the energy in the atmosphere to affect the ocean temperature changes seen recently or in the long term. In fact the atmosphere is not trapping more energy as the "greenhouse gas" CO2 increases, but the atmosphere is emitting increasing amounts of energy into space as longwave radiation. This is contrary to the idea of man-made global warming. Nearly all of the energy the ocean receives comes directly from sunlight.

No to reason behind warmer ocean and it’s not because of sun only it is about the Earth!!!
