Right now, in any place on earth, the concentration of CO2 in the water and in the air around it is in a equilibrium state of full saturation in the water determined by the temperature of the water and the concentration of CO2 in the air surrounding it.

Exactly. At any particular place and time, the CO2 level of the atmosphere and the ocean surface is in equilibrium and as the dynamic climate changes moment to moment, conditions change and it moves to stay in equilibrium.

Eric clearly denies that equilibrium is ever reached. He thinks the ocean is hungrily sucking up CO2 or having CO2 pushed into it by the atmosphere either way and is never at equilibrium. I suppose he thinks this will continue till the oceans are like seltzer water or something. Whatever it is he thinks saturation is.
