🌊 What happens to global temperature after net-zero?
New results suggest deep-ocean processes matter: as vertical heat diffusion warms the deep ocean, reduced heat uptake could reverse surface cooling on 100 yr timescales.
…the climate system has a very long memory.

When atmospheric carbon dioxide levels decline, increased ocean heat absorption would initially slow surface warming before warming the deep ocean, which ultimately raises global mean surface temperat...
