I mean you have me up to the point where you say the oceans can’t function as a perpetual heat sink for our maleficence. The oceans should be able to continue absorbing the excess heat. The amount of water is staggering. Over time the heat would be dissipated and the oceanic temperature would increase but not enough to make any sort of difference. There’s just too much water. It completely overwhelms any effect CO2 could have either directly or indirectly.

The oceans heating up is half of the problem, that's the cause of a lot of the extreme weather increases.
