The Oceans and Seas are the major driving mechanism for our climates and daily weather around the world.   Although the sun is a major driving force and warming is not possible without it, the major driving force heating the oceans is not the sun, but the continental plates.  Every year, as the Continental Plates warm, they will naturally bleed this heat out into the seas where the ocean currents move and dissipate this heat out to sea.  In the Pacific equatorial region, where solar energy would remain constant, the energy differentiation's demonstrate that the heat impacting this region was being sourced from the Australian Plate.
