when we do the calculations and include all radiative forcings and the amount of heat being absorbed by the oceans, it shows that the earth has warmed almost exactly as much as we would expect.

earth's energy budget:10
the net heat flux is buffered primarily by becoming part of the ocean's heat content, until a new equilibrium state is established between radiative forcings and the climate response.
