This slow we call it the thermohaline circulation provides that multi-century timescale response which is represented in our little model by the fat pipe over on the right. Just thinking about these two this sort of simple pipe model you can realize that just two quantities are enough to understand global temperature changes on decade to century times scales and to understand what it takes to stop global warming.
