CO2 ocean uptake and buffer capacity?

In the IPCC release at the following URL it states that the fraction of CO2 taken up by the ocean declines with increasing CO2 concentration due to reduced buffer capacity of the ...show more

Answer:
The oceans have an enormous buffering capacity when it comes to absorption of CO2 but it still only has a set amount. As the amount of CO2 absorbed increases the amount of buffering capacity decreases eventually meaning less CO2 can be absorbed into the oceans. As the capacity for the oceans to absorb CO2 goes down there is also the affect of increased ocean temperatures. The solubility of a gas in water is controlled by the temperature and as temperature goes up the amount of gas that is soluble decreases. This means that the oceans then begin to release CO2. @Jim Z: If you bothered to even have a quick look at it you would see that the data for the c280 does come from ice cores from the taylor dome record.

because it is gas.

I started reading it but I couldn't get past the first paragraph without finding bad mistakes that make it worthless propaganda to me. They don't know the CO2 concentration has been 280 ppmV so why do they pretend to know. If they would have stated that it was based on ice core, I might have read on but it was enough to show me it was just going to be a propaganda piece. They don't know it is higher now than the last 400 thousand years either. Why do you bother reading this tripe.
