Quite. My concern about methane trapped in permafrosted swamps threatened by global warming are one of the things impelling me to argue that cutting emissions to zero or negative ASAP is a very good thing.

I naturally realized that the CO2 equilibrium between air and water was in play, my point was that an imbalance between atmospheric CO2 and sea CO2 would not resolve itself instantaneously, and that removing emissions from the air directly cut out the middle man as it were.

It may be a moot point.

Like I said, let’s take this over to your thread.
