The oceans have immense thermal inertia and so the response to today's
GHG forcing lags behind. When the oceans do eventually catch up with the
equilibrium conditions appropriate to the present levels of CO2 in the
atmosphere sea levels will be higher. A some future warming is already
locked in even if we stopped the CO2 level from rising tomorrow.

A Scripps Institute paper suggests that with sea temperatures below 17
degC, dissolved CO2 does decrease with increases in temperature.
However, it was found that above that figure, dissolved CO2 /increases/
with increase of temperature up to the limit of the data (about 30 degC).

Perhaps ocean warming will reduce the level of atmospheric CO2.
