D: all the ocean is built up in the west pacific but if that equalizes. F. looking to pacific ocean heat is going deeper during pdo the whole of the climate systems warmed. Climate slowdown: the world won"t stop warming: surface temperatures go up and down all the time because of changing winds and cur- rents, and phenomena such as volcanic eruptions. three reasons earths temp hasn"t increased.
