Is there any metric for the temperature trend of the sub-surface crust of the earth?
Consequent to the answer, and should the crust be warmer, then would not the deep ocean also warm? Does not cold water hold more dissolved gasses than warmer water? Might not then the ocean be releasing CO2 (I believe that it is far and away the largest source of atmospheric CO2 anyway - but I'm talking CHANGE) rather like soda going flat as it is warmed? Contra-indicating this is that I hear stories that the ocean is MORE acid, not less so - which puzzles me. More carbonic acid in the ocean would sound like a sequestering action resulting in a net atmospheric loss.
