Bio Ecology Question (global warming)?
There has been a significant increase in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 150 years. The world’s oceans may be serving as a major “sink” for this excess carbon dioxide.
What could happen to the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide if the trend towards increasing global temperatures were to increase over the next 50-100 years. Consider what happens to a cold bottle or can of soda if it is left out on a table overnight.

Seriously. Asking the exact same question the exact same way 3 times in a row is not going to magically make people do your homework for you.
If you can't experiment with soda on your own, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200905... may have the answer you need.
The person who asks what happens to a cold bottle of soda left open overnight should also ask this:
If there's an open can of soda in the garage while you've left the car running, which has the greater effect?
Public Health organizations are also worried about global warming, as researches state that the global warming is luckily to increase human mortality, when the cases of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and other parasites increase. But the American Council on Science and Health announced the conclusions of its study which show that such diseases could become serious problems for people disregarding global warming and that these diseases can be prevented not only by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of these conclusions was certainly to make the diseases for the government not associated with global warming. The findings of the American Council on Science and Health were as follows:
More CO2 in the atmosphere is actually a good thing. Advocates of man-made Global Warming of course say the opposite, they say that CO2 is the driver of warming, but it simply is not true.
CO2 levels are driven by temperature, as temperatures rise the oceans heat and in turn the oceans give off enormous amounts of CO2. Over the last several decades solar activity has been unusually high and THAT is what has caused temperatures to rise, not CO2. But the rise in temperature has been well within the range of normal variability.
More recently, within the last couple of years, solar activity has decreased and it appears that a cooling trend is underway. If so you can expect CO2 levels to eventually decrease with falling temperatures.
There really is no man-made Global Warming. See what the experts say below:

the sea absorbs carbon dioxide. This technique is elementary as carbon sequestration. regardless of the undeniable fact that, this technique is constrained and atmospheric carbon dioxide ranges, which might on the beginning up shrink simply by fact the sea absorbs it, would ultimately come to a shrink. additionally, the water would heat up.
CO2 does not control the temperature.
Quote by John Takeuchi, meteorologist: “The atmosphere has periodic warming and cooling cycles. The sun is the primary source of energy impacting the earth's surface. That energy heats the land and the seas, which then warm the air above them. Water vapor and other gases in the atmosphere also affect temperature....Oceans are the main repository for CO2. They release CO2 as their temperature rises - just like your beer. This strongly suggests that warming oceans - heated by the sun - are a major contributor to CO2 in the atmosphere.”
Atmospheric CO2 would go up of course, but that would not have too much effect on temperatures as it's greenhouse effect is not linear and has limits.
There were times in Earths history when CO2 was 20times higher than now.
