We have touched on something similar before.
Amazingly where we looked at Geo magnetic relocation of the North Pole and the uncanny similarities it had to Global temps. This paper has done the same using the Seismicity as a proxy for geothermal events.
Part of there assessment with peer reviewed papers is the advection of warm ocean waters associated with these seismic events and geothermal heating .
Here is a pic of seismicity, followed by global temps.
Here is the temperature plot
And here is the piece we I put up last year showing geomagnetic correlation to temperature.
Modelling efforts also fail to account for the fact that most of the recent warming has been confined to the north Polar Regions when the models show warming was to have occurred at both poles.
Carmack et al. [11] show that underwater geothermal heat can trigger thermobaric convection (TC), a ventilating mechanism that raises the thermocline, amplifying the transfer of heat from the ocean to the overlying atmosphere [12]. In Polar Regions, this can destroy the cold, mixed layer, exposing warm, saltier water underneath within a short period of time. Geothermal heating of bottom water also increases the strength of oceanic overturning [13], and is responsible for increasing Pacific basin temperatures by 0.5°C three km below the surface [14].
Hofmann and Morales Maqueda [15] note that bottom-water heating strengthens the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and, in the process, warms the North Atlantic deep western boundary current by as much as 1.5°C. In agreement, Mahajam, et al. [16] developed a model which indicated that a strengthening of AMOC is strongly correlated with higher Arctic temperatures,
