Popular Mechanics reports:

The ocean is humanity's greatest ally in the fight against anthropogenic climate change. According to the United Nations, the world's oceans produce 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe, absorb around 30 percent of atmospheric carbon, and capture 90 percent of the excess heat produced by greenhouse emissions. Without the ocean, we'd be well and truly cooked.

However, the ocean's role as a carbon sink is complicated, and new research suggests that even under an ideal climate scenario — one where humanity gets its act together and creates a net-negative carbon world — heat trapped in the Southern Ocean could be "burped" up, producing anthropogenic climate change-like effects for decades or even centuries.

Guess the Church of Global Warming is getting desperate.

You've got to be kidding me. I wish the warmizombies would make up their minds as to who or what is their religion's "savior". First it was the Amazon rain forest carbon sink, then it was the Arctic and permafrost, Robert assured us that mangroves were the true MVPs, but now we find out that it was the ocean all along, producing half of our oxygen (??) and robs global plantlife of 30% of their food ... wait, why is that a good thing?

At least the ocean captures 90% of the excess heat produced by greenhouse emissions preventing us from being well and truly cooked. I can't say this while holding a straight face. That quip was crafted for the stupidest and most gullible among us. It's a fallacy trifecta.

Hold on! I just visited Popular Mechanics, and apparently there is a separate sect heralding a different champion: Chonkus

You can't make this shit up. It should be patently obvious why Global Warming and Climate Change are solely the domain of undereducated leftists.
 
Don't know why this confuses you. It's simple chemistry. If you remove a gas over a solution it will yield up more of the gas to the space over it. It's called LeChatelier's Principle.

You learn this stuff in first year chem. Even in high school chem.

Maybe if you actually took chemistry you could talk with some knowledge about it.
