There is an equilibrium that exists between the carbon dioxide in the air and the carbon dioxide in the oceans. The temperature of the water affects its ability to hold carbon dioxide.
Hence, as the global temperature continues to rise and the water becomes warmer, its ability to hold carbon dioxide decreases. When this happens, the gas exchange across the air-ocean boundary is affected. There is now too much CO2 in the atmosphere owing to the disturbance of its air- ocean exchange equilibrium leading to more rise in temperature due to global warming.
