The ocean retains heat for much longer than land does. If people everywhere stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, stored heat would still continue to warm the atmosphere. Historically, the first climate models represented only the atmosphere and were greatly simplified. Oceans in the future. By Richard B.
