Water can absorb CO2 so wont melting ice water reverse global warming?

Question

Since global warming will melt the polar ice, meaning there will be more water so inturn wont it absorb the Co2 and counter global warming.

Answer 1

yes water can absorb co2 but co2 dissolves in water only at very high pressures thats how we get areated drinks co2 which are dissolved in water at very high pressures.
and besides if co2 was soluble in water then why would we collect co2 after its prepapation by the downward displacement of water.
water does not absorb co2 caustic soda also called caustic potash or potassium hydroxide absorbs co2 not h2o
hope this has answered ur question.

Answer 2

There is CO2 trapped in the ice which will release on melting, so initially melting ice increases atmosperic CO2. If the melting ice cools the ocean and increases the water volume, the water will hold more CO2. The net result is a balance between these effects and the incoming energy as to whether the ocean actually cools or gets warmer. There are computer models that try to determine the net outcome.

Answer 3

CO2 and greenhouse gases (even though popular) is only one of many theory behind the global warming trends. Example, the earth realigns each pole on a periodic bases. As the North and South Pole realign, the world will go through an adjustment phase including getting warmer in certain areas and colder in others. Environmentalists seem to fixed on one cause where there may be many causes to one problem.

Answer 4

Generally in the past the biggest contribution from rising water was more area for carbonate banks (reefs etc) to flourish. Reefs tend to profit the most from rising water levels and trapped lots of carbon. But these changes had to do with a change in ocean basin volume from tectonics. The water that you are talking about is likely not going to do much except change the salinity a bit. Some models say that's bad but I haven't seen a model end up correct yet so lets see.

And people in low lying areas might lose very expensive homes.

Answer 5

once you've some water in a pitcher, mark the point with a pen and upload ice, wait till it melts and then seem lower back there'll be extra water contained in the glass and the point will be more effective. If the polar icecaps initiate breaking off and melt into the sea then the sea will upward thrust. there is mountains of frozen water on the North and South Pole One third above and a couple of thirds decrease than.

Answer 6

Ice can dissolve even more CO2 than liquid water, so the answer is no.

Answer 7

Okay...but the actual atoms don't go anywhere.
And I think the scientists would have thought of that.
