One possible consequence of climate change is an increase in temperature of the water.
00:07
The ocean serves as a sink for carbon dioxide by dissolving large amounts of carbon dioxide.
00:15
So the solubility of carbon dioxide in the oceans will be affected by an increase in temperature of the water.
00:24
So as temperatures increase, the carbon dioxide is going to leak out of the ocean because of high concentrations of gas in the water.
00:36
So basically, when temperature goes up, the ability to dissolve carbon dioxide goes down.
00:47
And that causes more carbon dioxide to stay in the atmosphere, which leads to more global warming.
00:55
And therefore, more global warming leads to higher temperatures, which leads to even less of the ability to dissolve carbon dioxide by the way.
01:09
Water.
01:10
So basically this is just a cycle that constantly increases global warming and ocean temperatures.
01:26
So we can use the ideal gas law to think about this and understand why that would be because carbon dioxide is a gas...
