This is my primary question as well.
Why is it that the CO2 released into the atmosphere is somehow staying in the atmosphere, but the heat generated from the C02 is going to the lowest depths of the ocean? And how do you reconcile that with this statement earlier:

"Oxygen levels are falling in proportion to rising CO2 levels. (source: same as previous bullet) If CO2 were escaping from the ocean or other natural stockpiles, we would not see the oxygen decrease."

So the CO2 increase is occurring in the atmosphere, but the warming is occurring in the lower levels of the ocean. What gives? How (and why) is this happening? Why would we not see an oxygen decrease if C02 were escaping from the ocean? Because it would be trapped down there?
