"The Earth's carbon sinks -- of which the Southern Ocean accounts for 15 percent -- absorb about half of all human carbon emissions. With the Southern Ocean reaching its saturation point, more CO2 will stay in our atmosphere."
How does carbon sink work chemically? What will happen to the H2O that is absorbing the CO2? How will this affect the atmosphere and ozone layers? Meaning, if the ocean so saturated that it could not absorb CO2 anymore, will the CO2 then stays up in the atmosphere? Would it then decomposes into chlorine to destroy ozone layers? What are the consequences of this? Would it speed up the Global Warming? And what other things that can happen in relation to this - and its cause and effect?
Also can you depict this whole picture (of what is happening as described above) into chemical equations, and related concepts in chemistry?
Thank you!
