""It is no secret that increased solar irradiance warms Earth's oceans, which then triggers the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.'

Warmer seawater equals more CO2 in the atmosphere? Evaporation isn't a CO2 transporter, so what's up with that?

Warmer seawater equals more CO2 in the atmosphere? Evaporation isn't a CO2 transporter, so what's up with that? The amount of gas dissolved in the water descreases with increases in temperature.

"emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."

If I shine equal amounts of sunlight through a large, clear container of O2, and another of pure CO2, will the temperatures registered on the distal side be the same for both containers or will the CO2 container register a higher temp?

Inorganic carbon and alkalinity CO2 in atmosphere

Presently 350 ppm and increasing

greenhouse gas along with methane

increasing with fossil fuel combustion

Solubility in water

disproportionately represented in water because of high solubility

less soluble at higher temperatures

Colder water can contain more CO2 than warm water. Put a can of Coke in hot water and then open it up, you will then understand.
