re: Antarctic ocean saturated with CO2

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is so loaded with carbon dioxide that it can barely absorb any more, so more of the gas will stay in the atmosphere to warm up the planet, scientists reported Thursday."

This is so stupid.
Of course it's "saturated"- and it's always been "saturated".
The ocean surface is also nearly "saturated" with Oxygen, and Nitrogen, and Argon.
To say the Southern Ocean is loaded with CO2 and can barely absorb more, is like saying the Southern Ocean is cold and windy.
Oh my, stop the presses.

I guess the next major news will be that the Sun is as warm as it's going to get in the near future.
Or how about the tropic has such a high humidity that air can't hold much more water.
