Gee, a whole new phony baloney scare story about the oceans ... this time involving bogus non-facts about oxygen.

Now it happens that solubility of oxygen falls as water warms too. Just like CO2. Though you can see, solubility is quite low. Congratulations, you're now in the position of insisting the Henry's Law applies to the oceans when it comes to oxygen, but not when it comes to CO2.


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.
