I will get back to this late tonight and in a new post below.
Cheers D J S

Please show the methodology for your estimate.

The solubility curve is quite shallow.

and though the ocean are huge, the rate of increase in temperature of the deep oceans is slow. So fast heating applies only to the top layer.

The effect is miniscule compared to the effect of destabilising (eliminating) the ice cover in the Arctic and the destablilisation of permafrost regions, which contain humungous quantities of CO2 and, more importantly CH4, with a warming potential in time frames that matter of in excess of 86 times that of CO2.

In other words, your theorising is just another red herring, not addressing the real problem, which is constant desequestration of sequestered carbon and release of CO2, currently at the rate of in excess of 40 billion tonnes a year. Plus the decimation of natural systems that store carbon. Plus the burning of forests and jungles and conversion to industrial agriculture, adding yet more greenhouse gases via the application of nitrogenous fertilisers. Nitrous oxide has a warming potential of the order of 190 times that of CO2.

And of the number of atmospheres worth of CO2 that would be released from the sea if it warmed by 1 degree C?
Like in what respect am I wrong? Would it only double? Or would it increase 4x do you think?

CO2 released by human activity will continue to increase atmospheric CO2 as the global economy implodes, and then people will burn whatever they can find….trees, plastic, old tyres… pushing up atmospheric CO2 and pollution in general whilst reducing the capacity of photosynthetic systems.

Loss of Arctic sea ice -in the very near future- leads to a surge in temperature in the Arctic and massive release of CO2 and CH4.

I see that in recent days ice has been MELTING when it would normally still be forming.

Definitely a trend to keep a close eye on over the coming weeks and months.

Once the last of the sea ice melts we’re are into a completely new climate regime. With no latent heat of phase change, all the absorbed energy from the Sun will manifest as increased temperature. And that will accelerate positive feedbacks, like the eruption of greenhouse gases from permafrost.

Also, with the Equatorial-Arctic gradient further degraded and the Jet Stream containment further weakened, we would expect a lot more of the kind of events that have devastated Texas recently.

‘Interesting times’ just keep getting more ‘interesting’.

So What is Your estimate?

Oh, come on Trevor, we both know there is almost no expertise in central government, nor in local government, nor in the bureaucracies that supposedly serve them…other than expertise in avoiding responsibility.

Policies are formulated on the basis of opinions and whims and rorts, and implementation is carried out on the basis of some insider making money out of a deal. None more so than CEOs.

Cock-up after cock-up, after cock-up. That’s why rates go up and up as performance goes down and down.

‘like one degree c will drive a large amount of CO2 out of the ocean and into the atmosphere; like about 3x the present level as near as I can estimate’

Wrong yet again David.

Say his goal is malicious (which I doubt). Who cares, if he has good critiques I assume you’d wanna know them. If Martin was talking about health and a doctor reached out with a criticism, I wouldn’t care if they were an asshole (which he isn’t), I would just wanna know the critiques.
