That is very interesting. Can you please explain to a
non-chemist the mechanism or process whereby cooling will reduce
the CO2 content of the atmosphere?


This is one example where he does have a weak point.
Solubility of gasses is higher in cold water.

But the rate we are adding CO2 to the atmosphere means that it only
slows the rate of increase slightly but still by a measurable amount.

Warmer water has a lower solubility for gasses, especially CO2 so
when the oceans cool and there is cool surface water it is better
able to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. A fair chunk of the CO2
we emit is absorbed by the oceans leading to their gradual
acidification and making life more difficult for some sensitive
corals.

Conversely as the oceans warm they become less able to take up CO2
and for the same rate of global CO2 emission the atmospheric
concentration will rise more quickly.


Meeep... wrong.


Bull****.

Oceans don't become less able to take up CO2 when warming up, they
simply release CO2.


Bull****.

You didn't understand the solubility of gasses correctly, neither you
thought over the anomaly of water.


Bull****.

Other pig-ignorant insults from this moron snipped for brevity.
