I challenge you to answer your own question. What is the average temp of the world's oceans at their surface?

If you say the oceans are warming, you must know what the average temperature was for last year and the year before and the year before ...

And if those numbers are in fact warming, Henry's Law applies!



Henry's Law
http://www.800mainstreet.com/9/0009-006-henry.html

Warming oceans would hold less CO2.

Ice cores show atmospheric CO2 has followed temperatures up and down. Warmer periods had more atmospheric CO2. Scientific studies of trees preserved at the La Brea tar pits show that trees were starved for carbon during the last ice age. This is all consistent with Henry's Law. As the earth cools during ice ages, the oceans absorb more CO2 taking it out of the atmosphere. As the earth warms during interglacials, the oceans give up CO2 to the atmosphere.

The world's oceans can take up many times more CO2 than they contain presently.
The vast bulk of it is over 8000 ft below the surface.


Yeah, but the atmosphere isn't down there. Besides, warmists say the deep ocean is warming too, so Henry's Law applies there too.
