It is all so glaringly obvious. SST's rule all, and they ain't gonna get
cooler ;=( .

There's a bit more to it than that. It's SST anomalies that are
important, not simply the actual temperature. Although SST anomalies tend to
be quite persistent they don't live for ever, changes being brought about by
atmospheric warming or cooling and by dynamic effects in the ocean. And you
have to ask what brings about SST anomalies in the first place. The
atmosphere, largely. It's chicken-and-egg.
