It doesn't matter that the pressure in the deep ocean is high ... warming a liquid causes outgassing at any pressure.

It's not like the pressure in the deep ocean is changing. It's not. The only thing changing - SUPPOSEDLY - is the temperature of the ocean. Warming a liquid causes outgassing .... in the deep ocean, shallow ocean, laboratory, your kitchen. The laws of physics work everywhere. Right?

So you shouldn't ever have simultaneous increasing ocean acidity and warming ocean temperatures. According to physics that is.

As the depth increases the carrying capacity of gases increases with absolute pressure.

IE, if depth doubles, carrying capacity of the dissolved gases doubles.

And so on, and so on.......

In other words.... You can store a LOT of CO2 in solution at a depth of 30,000 feet compared to the surface of the ocean!
