It's true that rising temperatures cause release of CO2 from the oceans. But the release is from about 5 to 15 ppm per degree C depending on the starting point. We have seen about a 1C rise in ocean temperatures since the late 1800's. Most of that temperature rise is natural. That rise caused at most a 15 ppm rise in CO2. The rest of the rise, and the ongoing rise, is manmade.

SPecifically there is a 2-3 ppm rise in CO2 per year (see link in my previous post). To be due to temperature there would have to be a 0.2C rise in average ocean temperature each year. That is certainly not the case.

Assuming the figures you are using are accurate (a big assumption) they also indicate that increased CO2 doesn’t cause an increase in temps.
