As the planet warms due to the accumulation of anthropogenic CO 2 in the atmosphere, the interaction of surface ocean carbonate chemistry and the radiative forcing of atmospheric CO 2 leads to the global ocean sequestering heat and carbon in a ratio that is nearly constant in time. This ratio has be...
