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.

You need to learn some science.

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

Only if the oceans are already totally saturated with CO2 (and as yet
they are not although the Southern Ocean is looking increasingly dodgy).

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

Drooling kookery. It is you who does not understand.

Your statement about corals is far-fetched and devoid of basics.

More drooling kookery. There are already problems with some of the more
sensitive corals failing to fix calcium. A reasonable laymans
introduction to the ocean acidification problem is available online at
New Scientists website:

Corals have survived over millions of years with way more worse environmental
conditions and it's proven man, evicting them now by raw sewage and killing
the natural enemies of coral enemies.
You'd better be informed correctly before posting such a crap.

So would you. Not one of your claims hold up to the slightest scrutiny.
