   Obviously into warming the oceans even more. This decreases the amount   
   of CO2 they can take up, but since CO2 levels in the atmosphere are   
   going up a lot faster than the oceans are warming up, this is a long   
   term problem. At the moment  about half the extra CO2 we are emitting   
   ends up in the oceans
