An interesting Idea:
- Ocean's general warming trend is killing off Coral, which usually absorbs
& Builds calcium Carbonate exoskeletons;
- But with the corals dying out, from their environment warming slightly,
the C02 the coral would have absorbed is still
in solution in ocean water, absorbing heat from the sun ( etc)
slightly expanding the volume of the Ocean, hence Slightly raising sea
levels..
( ! ! ! )

It would be nice if some natural process is cancelling out the
effects of all that extra CO2. I hope it is, for our sake, but having
a closed mind to the issue isn't going to make it go away.

Hmmm....
- Ever take a glass of cold water 7 let it sit fer a while?
ever see Bubbles form on the side of the glass?
Where de bubbles come from???
- Tooth Fairy?
Nope!
its de dissolved gas in the cold water
becoming undissolved
& going back into its gaseous form.
-SO ??
IF SEA Water
warms slightly
Some of the dissolved gases in it
will be released into the atmosphere
causing an increase in absolute volume of Air on the planet..
Including C02;
-which absorbs heat,
expanding our atmosphere
a little bit more..

- Don't see that Co2 Absorbing process here...
