Now you're saying the whole ocean isn't warming, just a little bit near the surface.

Seawater is what, roughly 800 times denser than the atmosphere at sea level? So what? Soft drinks are much more dense than the atmosphere ... but warming a soft drink causes CO2 to leave faster. You admitted so yourself.

Because the oceans of the world are far, far away from being saturated with CO2. And what does "saturated" mean there? Carbonated drinks are only saturated compared to what they'd be open at room temperature.

So you are implying that the waters that got so hot in the Pacific during the El Nino event last year absorbed additional CO2?
