Re: Warming Atmosphere/Ocean absorbs LESS CO2

Has anyone studied into the effect that Warming Atmosphere/Ocean absorbs less carbon dioxide?

ie:
A) Climate warming makes air drier over large coninental landmasses, resulting less CO2 absorbed by the moisure in the air (eg: interior Australia, interior North America, etc.)

B) warming ocean means it can absorb less CO2 (hence releasing more CO2 back into atmosphere?)
this (B) scenario is discounting the massive dying off of ocean life due to ocean warning (which in itself releases CO2 due to dead organisms).

Here is a couple of links for you.

I'll limit my answer to
&gt;Climate warming makes air drier
Doesn't warming make the atmosphere capable of holding more water? Or were you thinking of relative humidity rather than absolute humidity?

And here is a summary of the Hadley Centre <a href="http://www.metoffice.com/research/hadleycentre/models/carbon_cycle/models_ocean.html">ocean carbon cycle models</a>.
