Which outcome occurs when increased surface temperatures strengthen thermal expansion effects globally?

💡 Explanation

Less CO2, which is removed from the atmosphere into the ocean, would be sequestered into the deeper parts of it. Increased temperatures causes this buoyancy effect because warmer water is less dense and stays on top, therefore disrupting the sinking needed for carbon sequestration, rather than enhancing it.
