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.

The amount of gas dissolved in the water descreases with increases in temperature. True.
Maybe he means warmer water gives more marine life, [and increased cold blooded metabolic rates] giving a net increase in CO^2 released to the atmosphere?
OTOH, wouldn't one expect that increase to include marine plant life as well, sucking up a lot of the 'extra' CO^2?
