A recent study shows that Oceans absorb 90% of human-induced planet warming Earth Energy Balance
It is the difference between Incoming solar radiation and Outgoing terrestrial radiation.
It is an indicator of climate change that provides an estimate of how much, how fast, and where the Earth’s climate is warming.
The heat gain in the Earth system results in, directly and indirectly, triggered changes in the climate system.
Effects
On land - Heat accumulated on land drives up ground surface temperatures.
This may increase soil respiration, which triggers the decomposition of soil organic matter and plant litter by soil microbes, releasing carbon dioxide in the process.
Higher soil respiration will likely decrease soil water, depending on climatic and meteorological conditions and factors.
On Ocean - The accumulation of heat in inland water increases lake water temperatures making the conditions ripe for algal blooms.
The heat content from the surface to the bottom of the ocean is also increasing at warming rates.
On troposphere - The upper troposphere in the tropics has warmed faster than the near-surface atmosphere.
On cryosphere - The frozen water part of the Earth system gained heat has triggered the melting of grounded ice (ice shelves in Antarctica and Greenland, Arctic Sea ice).
Permafrost heat content could inject methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
About 89 % of the accumulated heat is stored in the ocean, 6% on land, a per cent in the atmosphere and about 4% available for melting the cryosphere.
Hence both statements are correct.
