The whole conversation is compelling but here's a direct refutation to your point by one of the coauthors of the 2022 Hansen research
Ok, to summarise, more heat is going doesn't into the oceans because the pollution isn't reflecting it. Got it. But sea temperature rise as a whole is still due to global warming and absorption of heat by the oceans. If the additional heat is being absorbed more by the sea than it was, that's bad. But it's bad anyway.
I've said my piece, I'll leave it to those more knowledgeable to argue further.
Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.
