The Sea of Japan is hardly the globe. I'd expect much more absorption at
4C in the polar regions than 14C in the Sea of Japan. It's hardly a
surprise that turbulence in the surface layer speeds the absorption.

Look at these and see if you can tell where you think the CO2 will be
absorbed and where it will outgas:

You should probably research your hypothesis.

The fact is that ice is flowing to the sea.

Whether its man made or not, it is going on, and it will cause climate
changes that those who adjust to properly will prosper from while those
who do not will suffer, maybe die.
