upwelling of cold CO2 - rich
water from depth leads to outgassing when
upwelled water warms at the surface.
The first is to emphasize your point that degassing of CO2
from the oceans is not simply a matter of warmer
water reducing CO2 solubility, and that important additional factors include changes in wind patterns, reduction in sea ice cover to reveal a larger surface for gas escape, and
upwelling of CO2
from depths consequent to the changing climate patterns.
