Please critique this logic.
- It's well known from chemistry that cooler water can hold more gasses in solution than warmer water.
- As ocean temperatures rise (slowly, for any reason, over centuries) dissolved greenhouse gasses will come out of solution and into the atmosphere. Conversely, as ocean temperatures cool, more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will be dissolved.
- This action is positive feedback. That is, it only serves to make the existing trend worse instead of opposing it.
- Any system with primarily positive feedback is inherently unstable and will end up at one extreme or the other.
