IF, and that is a YUUUUUUGE IF, the "global warming" is coming from the evil human mammal, that means it is coming from the Sun, and being trapped by all of the extra co2 we are causing. If it is almost totally black at 700 feet down, how in the hell is the Sun heating up "deep Ocean waters"?

It's not. Very little is known about the ocean floor. The Mariana Trench, for instance, is 6.831 miles deep and goes into the upper mantle of the earth. Estimated temperature of the upper mantle is 932 to 1,652 °F. But yeah, .1 degrees increase of the average surface temperatures across the globe has a larger effect on deep water temps .
