The ocean around Japan has warmed up faster than elsewhere in the world over the last hundred years partly because of global warming, Japan's Meteorological Agency said on Tuesday.
The sea surface temperature around central, western and southern Japan has climbed by 0.7 to 1.6 degrees Celsius in the last century, far higher than the world average of a 0.5 degree Celsius increase, a survey conducted by the agency showed.

The agency said global warming was partly to blame for the fast rise in the ocean temperature around Japan.
"But the areas surveyed were so small that we cannot say the rise in the water's temperature has been caused entirely by global warming," it said. It did not specify why the ocean around Japan would be more affected than other parts of the world.

Global warming definitely caused this - even though they can't say for sure that global warming caused this - and even though they can explain why the ocean warmed the ocean here more than anywhere else.
It was also Bush's fault and proves that we need to sign the Kyoto Accord.

Would all of the seismic activity around Japan have anything to do with it? Underground volcano or something?

And no quantification of the amount of CO2 this warming has released from the ocean (so as not to ruin ideology of “carbon-effect warming”).

Nooooo. It's George Bush fault for not nationalizing private industries through the communist Kyoto treaty.
