Is human activity really causing Co2 increase in atmosph?

Earth is covered by 70% water. Does Henry's law tell us the truth of Co2 equilibrium between oceans and atmosphere? Does Al gore's meaning surpass nature reality? When you look at an official graph of atmospheric Co2 and global temperature change, you can clearly notice delay between the two. The fact is that Co2 change come AFTER change in temperature! What is the cause? How big mass must be involved to cause such delay between temperature change causing Co2 change? Where is that huge mass located?
This simple experiment show you Henry's law in real life experience. You can easily redo experiment yourself at home.
What is Henry's law? Wikipedia says:
"At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid".
What will happen if temperature in liquid increase? My experiment shows Co2 emitting from Soda Water when heated. Earth is covered with more than 70% water containing huge amounts Co2. I have heard numbers up to 50 times Co2 compared to the atmosphere. What happens when the world oceans heats? What heats oceans? All oceans on earth have tremendous mass. What is the response time to heat the worlds oceans before it releases Co2 to the atmosphere? Humans today measure Co2 increase (320ppm to 380ppm) in atmospheric Co2 and claim increase is caused by humans burning fossil fuel. How do you know? Can it be oceans, heated long time ago (say hundreds of years), causing increase in atmospheric Co2 nowadays? My video does not provide answers to all these questions. Video simply show Co2 emitting from Soda when heated. Is it likely Co2 in world oceans behave same way as in Soda when heated?

The pH of the ocean is decreasing (becoming more acidic). This is due to excess CO2 entering the ocean to make H2CO3. So the CO2 isn't coming from the ocean. The isotopic ratios of carbon is consistent with burning fossil fuels, rather than from biosphere respiration. Human emissions are about 7 Gt per year. That more than accounts for the extra CO2 in the atmosphere since 1850.

Hi Bigstubby1!

How do you know measured Co2 increase in atmosphere are coming from man burning fossil fuel and not from other sources?

[Bigstubby1]

In summary, unless there is a natural process that emits 7 billion tons per year of CO2 from material derived from old plants (fossil fuels), we conclude that the extra CO2 is coming from human processes consisting of burning fossil fuels.

Hi Bugtubby! Thanks for your extensive answer. You seems to be well studied having very good knowledge about topic. Can you answer the following questions? :

What residence time in atmosphere does co2 have when co2 comes from the following sources: 1. "natural" co2 ('Animal respiration / plants outgassing co2 when they die/rotten/are burnt)? 2. man burning fossil-fuel? 3. co2 outgassing from earth crust?

[gpetters]

4. co2 outgassing from earth interior 4a. co2 outgasing through landbased volcanoes? 4b. co2 outgassing through underwater volcanoes? 5. co2 outgassing from oceans? 6. co2 released from underground coal fires burning world wide (burning 24/7 for many years now)?

Where do you think the major sink for atmospheric co2 is located?

[Bigstubby1]

It appears that the term "residence time" has different meanings to different people. One definition describes residence time as the duration between a perturbation (rapid addition of CO2) and the reestablishment of equilbrium by CO2 uptake. The mechanisms for water vapor increase (evaporation) and decrease (precipitation) are simpler and quick (few months). For CO2, the mechanisms controlling CO2 release and uptake are varied and complex; but generally slower (200-800 years is one estimate).

[gpetters]

Hi Bigstubby1! You say general residence time of Co2 staying in atmosphere in average is say (200+800)/2=500 years. How can you explain oceans pH are decreasing nowadays due to co2 entering the oceans in the very slow rate of 500 years? Was there much co2 outgassing from mankind 500 years ago? .....and would'nt the sodapop industri be broke by now if they had to wait 500 years production time before they could sell their stuff?

@gpetters That is freaking hilarious.

[DLbrooks87]

@OxAO Ok. But you said the ocean is "the driver of this system". Exactly what does that statement refer to? There are many 'systems'.

[OxAO]

@DLbrooks87

said, "Are you referring to ocean heating...?"

No

in this case the exchange of CO2 between air and ocean

[DLbrooks87]

@OxAO By "system" what do you mean? Are you referring to ocean heating being the driving force to the 20th and 21st century trend in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations?

If so I'm afraid I'll need some proof beyond a link to basic carbonate chemistry.

[OxAO]

@DLbrooks87

yes he does ignore Henry's constant but it still works out that the ocean becomes a HUGE sink for CO2

The heat capacity of the ocean overwhelms the trace concentration of CO2 in the air and makes the temperature the driver of this system.

Thanks for posting the video, its really important that people get educated about the subject.

I think your experiment confirmed something we can all agree about which is that CO2 is released from the ocean as it gets hotter.

[DLbrooks87]

@Bigstubby1 Exactly right. What the poster has discovered is the Van't Hoff transformation of the Henry's constant due to increasing temperature. What he is completely ignoring is the PRIMARY STATEMENT of Henry's law, that the concentration in the aqueous phase is proportional to the partial pressure in the atmosphere.

Not to mention that he is completely ignoring other independent lines of evidence for an anthropogenic CO2 source, such as C12/C13 ratio, fossil fuel estimates, O2 decline, etc

[DaveMcRae999]

OMG - no scientist picked this up before you - completely overlooked - you are truely the Galileo, the Einstein - I will be looking for your name as the next science Nobels are awarded. There is my government (Australia, we love coal) and dozens other hoping you will join them, or someone like you, to show that fossil fuels are fantastic and we need that export money.

[mbarrera47]

So this experiment shows that dissolved CO2 or other gas in a liquid escapes a lot more when it is heated up.

[Bigstubby1]

CO2 + H2O is making H2CO3 (carbonic acid) and food chain organisms who survive by virtue of a carbonate shell are weakened by the low pH environment. Since we know the mass and density of the air, you can calculate for yourself the concentration of CO2 (ppmv) that would be generated by adding 500 Gt of carbon. It comes out to ~220 ppmv. In this short timeframe, wince we added more CO2 than is currently measured in the air, the extra CO2 must be being absorbed, not released.
