One possible factor is the reduced capacity of the water in the oceans to hold CO2 as its temperature increases. A warm soda goes flat (from losing CO2) a lot quicker than a cold one does.
Correct, and the case was made for that in the program. Good explanation with the soda btw.
Note that ocean and lake temperatures around the globe are not a single value. There is apparently a huge CO2 flux into and out of the water each year that dwarfs the anthropogenic CO2 output (though it’s likely true that the atmospheric CO@ concentration increase is mostly man made). The oceans could be moving massive amounts of CO2 around the globe in the ocean currents.
That is exactly right. I use this example when I explain the Global Warming - Carbon Dioxide Hoax to my 80+ year old parents and my 8 year old grandson. They all 'get it'. Take that Al Gore.
Why would increasing temp cause increasing CO2 ?
Are we not teaching science anymore?
Increasing temperature will increase the speed of chemical reactions. It also increases the rate of respiration. Of course the world is more complicated than this but .......... Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that increases along with respiration. Almost all plants are c02 starved.
You will also notice that if you raise the temp and aerate a swimming pool the alkalinity drops as CO2 is released.

And that begs the questions, What are liberals going to drink when carbonated beverages are outlawed?
See point #5 in my profile. CO2 solubility in seawater does not cause this observation.
