Question

If warmer oceans soak up less CO2, what effect do you think rising ocean temperatures will have on the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Warmer water cannot hold as much carbon dioxide, so the ocean’s carbon capacity is decreasing as it warms. In watching for effects of increasing atmospheric carbon on the ocean’s uptake, many people have looked for indications that the carbon content of the ocean is rising faster than that of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Answer 2

If warmer oceans soak up less CO2, rising ocean temperatures will lead to more CO2 in the atmosphere.

CO2 is being released into the atmosphere both from natural and anthropogenic sources. The natural sources include volcanic eruption, cellular respiration, etc. while anthropogenic sources include all human actions that lead to CO2 emission such as the burning of fossil fuels, agricultural burnings, deforestation, etc.

As net amounts of CO2 is being released into the atmosphere and warmer oceans soak up less CO2, the atmospheric concentration of CO2 will keep increasing.
