The numbers you so glibly ask for are actually available from isotope
geochemists. This is quantifiable!!!!!!! so no BS about fuzzy science.
The temperature of equatorial ocean water in the later Miocene (the
window for AAS) was not appreciably warmer than that of today and it was
probably colder. Sorry I am a geologist not a geochemist so I cannot
provide citations at the present. Ask a practicing geochemist.
