Not to validate their malarkey, but if you heat the surface of a liquid, conduction can transfer the heat to greater depths.

Skip chemistry and try physics ;-)

Would conduction result in greater heat at depth then at the surface? I think not unless there is some form of forced convection.

Meanwhile, the SST in the Atlantic has been cooling of late.

I actually did better in Physics btw!

Curious - would that conduction be due to ocean currents "pulling" the warmer water down?

Conduction will only transfer to greater depths when you have a greater heat source. However there is no greater heat source as global temperatures have not gone up for 18 years.

What they are describing in this article is bunk.
