    The ocean heat capacity is much more than that of the atmosphere. The answer is F, except in that time you are likely to see an ice age.

    Oceans warm similar to earths surface and atmosphere, with maybe a few decades lag, so it would be under a hundred years, bear in mind that our oceans cover 70% of earths surface and receive a lot of solar radiation
