The three-quarters of a degree rise in the past forty years has been enough

It doesn't bother me.

It doesn't explain what is happening at any depth. The ice is surface
phenomenon. And 3/4 of a degree isn't enough to affect the whole
thermo-haline column of an ocean. Either that or it must affect the
whole column. And not just of that one ocean.
There hasn't been enough solar output to do that. I am sure we'd have
noticed.

Either that or glowballs is superficial after all.
In which case, what's the problem?

But the worst case scenario is that the less hospitable regions of the
world become more habitable. How is that a bad thing?

If it were 3/4 of a degree every year of 40 years it would be
something. And I am sure that a few half interested watchers believe
that. But people are famous for not paying too much attention to
things and getting lead off down garden paths.

It's why we recruit children into armed services/terrorist cells
rather than people who have sampled life and death. It's why we vote
for monkeys and murderers, or pray for the good health of kings.
