What happens to CO2 uptake of the oceans when their temperatures rise?

As we both know Eric warmer water holds less CO2 in solution. All gasses are more soluble in cold water rather than warm water. Let a glass of soda water warm and you can see that for yourself even without a PhD in climate science....

But rather than drag it out, why not simply state that as ocean temperatures rise then less CO2 is absorbed by the ocean. Basic science, but it requires the temperature to rise first which in turn increases the atmospheric CO2 not the other way around regardless what Al Gore's doctored graph may have shown...
