If this were a simple result of rising ocean temperatures on a global scale, wouldn't we expect oxygen levels in the atmosphere to increase? That doesn't seem to be happening (quite the opposite.) So, where is the oxygen?
- jellicle 7y agoThere isn't a lot of oxygen in water to start with, as solubility is low. If we somehow made the Earth's oceans completely oxygen-free, it wouldn't add noticeably to the amount of oxygen in the air.
