Original Note:
Essentially all land is warming faster than the global average. Most of the earth is ocean & due to mixing & the high specific heat of water, has thermal inertia, so temperature increases much less than over land. Therefore most land warms faster than the global average. https://usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/specific-heat-capacity-and-water https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/earth-system/climate-system/transfer-and-storage-heat-oceans https://gfdl.noaa.gov/ocean-mixing/
