I'm having a civil discussion (or so I think) on a social media site. I was under the impression that the oceans were absorbing CO2, which has led to increased warming of the oceans. The other person said that according to Henry's Law, as the oceans warm, the they degas CO2. Does anyone have an in depth explanation?
My naive assumption was based on something I had heard years ago. Earlier projections on the warming global temperatures were thought incorrect during a decreased period, I believe that occurred in the 1980s? The explanation was that the oceans began absorbing CO2, which slowed the atmospheric warming during that period? Perhaps I remembered incorrectly, which wouldn't be the first time.
