No. You're presuming that there is CO2 above the solution. I could have a
completely filled flask with no gas in it.

You're trying to NOT understand the chemistry.

Yes, thus the only thing that determines the concentration of CO2 in the
water is temperature, since the equilibrium constant is K = [ CO2_water]

You really don't get simple chemistry, do you?

So, the amount of CO2 in the water is DETERMINED BY TEMPERATURE ALONE.
The amount of CO2 in the air is determined by the constant K2 = [CO2_air]/
[CO2_water]. [CO2_water] is determined by temperature alone. Add more CO2
and it precipitates out. Take out CO2 and carbonate rock will dissolve.

Gibberish and junk science!! There is no magical way for the ocean to
reject the 5.5 GtCarbon fossil fuel CO2 while accepting the 90 GtCarbon
of "natural" CO2.

This bullshit and lies were fabricated isotope studies and the implicit
assumption that the only source of sequestered carbon dioxide is from
fossil fuels. That's utter bullshit!! The carbonate rock are also a VAST
supply of sequestered carbon.

Um... buffered system means nothing to you, does it?

Let's see, the CO2 we added to the air caused the ocean to become more
acidic, which disolved carbonate rocks, which released more CO2, which
makes the ocean more acidic. OH NO, a positive feedback loop! It's
out of control! All carbonate rocks are going to disolve. WE'RE ALL
GOING TO DIE!!!!

CaCO3 is a stone.
Houses in my surrounding used to be build with stones with fossil sea
shells inclusions. Most mountains are made of calcareous stone that were
previously in the ocean beads.

Any reference ?

Computer models showing an amplifiying GH effect have just a built in
feed back with no real justification.
