   Every physicist knows that cold waters absorb CO2 and hot waters release   
   it. According to the IPCC, some 80 GtC are absorbed each year by cold   
   waters and released elsewhere by warm waters. That is some 7 or 8 times   
   human emissions.   
   IPCC experts suppose that emissions exactly balance absorptions every   
   year and every century. Nobody knows, but we obviously can observe some   
   lack of equilibrium some years associated with El Niño/La Niña conditions.   
   Nobody can exclude some very long term trends in those very large CO2   
   oceanic/atmosphere exchange, since temperatures have been increasing   
   since coldest point of the "little ice age" (around 1700).   
    From the 13C/12C ratio, it seems that 9 or 10 % of the current CO2   
   content of the atmosphere comes from fossil emissions, 90% from   
   "natural" sources.
