Ok, your posts combined to produce kind of a heterodyne
of silly confusion.
CO2 increase at present gives every evidence of coming from fossil
fuel burning. It does not seem to be coming from lakes or from
rotting vegetation. The various evidence for this include such
things as measurement of CO2 levels in oceans (which don't
seem to be going down) and isotope content in the atmosphere
(which seems to be changing as would be expected from fossil
fuel burning rather than other sources) and measurements of
fluxes of carbon into and out of various sources and sinks.
As well, ocean warming would be expected to take quite a bit
longer, something like a few centuries.
So the balance of evidence is fairly strongly towards CO2 going
up due to fossil fuel burning.
However, temperature of the oceans most certainly can affect
CO2 concentrations. Warm water does not hold as much CO2
disolved as does cold water. So if the oceans warmed they
would release CO2. A lot of it. Does not seem to have happened
in the last 100 years or so, but has happened over 100's of
thousands of years.

Yep. But it's im****tant not to flop over onto another mistake.

Um. What?
