It seems the atmospheric saturation point is immesurably higher than the esteemed Happer is telling us.

Not exact matches

When the oceans begin to slow the rate of CO2 uptake at saturation point that will futher push atmospheric CO2 even higher, simultaneously the massive amounts of additional CO2 and methane and nitrous oxide etc released from the decay and oxidisation of oceanic living creatures who can not survive in a low ph environment will future ram the nail in the coffin.

Re: # 19 — excellent points: that both (a) CaCO3 dissolution occurs above pH 7 (it depends on the H2C03, HCO3 -LRB--), and CO3 (2 --RRB- equilibrium which determines the saturation state of seawater), AND (b) that biogenic calcification is made increasingly difficult when the saturation state of surface waters declines, which is what happens as rising atmospheric CO2 influences the chemistry of surface waters.

It is also possible that, even at pre-industrial concentrations of atmospheric CO2, we were already above the «saturation point» of IR absorption by CO2, and therefore, even the warming that has occurred in the last 150 years could not have been caused by carbon dioxide.
