Not much. The CO2 dissolves once in the ocean,
but CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to radiative
forcing for about a century.

It's even less than that.

The right answer:

The heat of combustion of carbon fuels is >> greater than the heat of
solution of the resulting CO2 -- assuming CO2 even has a heat of
solution -- and the heat of combustion is ignored by atmospheric
scientists.

One day John, you'll add something of use to this newsgroup. Until
then, it's difficult to know which discussion is which with you
stalking your target. You don't just attack Bret, but everyone else
who uses the newsgroup. Change this back and it will only show that
you couldn't care a toss for anyone else on here except for yourself.
