Being that the ocean lacks carbonation, the earth is technically flat. (lemmy.world)

Is all the co2 distributed evenly or would there be more co2 absorbed in areas where it is colder and less in warmer areas?

    Good question. Here is a quote from NOAA

    A map of the anthropogenic CO2 ocean column inventory shows that the carbon is not evenly distributed in space. More than 23% of the inventory can be found in the North Atlantic, a region covering approximately 15% of the global ocean. By contrast, the region south of 50°S represents approximately the same ocean area but only has ~9% of the global inventory.

    The site above also explains the life cycle of CO2 in the earth's oceans.

    Good information and REAL numbers.
