When the IPCC issued its first report, however, 2100 was 110 years in the future. Some of the CO2 will get slowly absorbed into the ocean over a long period of time, but the ocean will also gradually release some of the heat it has been absorbing. Changes in the oceans will continue over a long period of time.
