A majority of the carbon released from fossil fuels ends up in the ocean. Only a very small percentage stays in the atmosphere.
Don't worry. Scientists have thought about this. If you want to know more take an oceans and environmental science course. Though to really understand it would take more than just one course. The interactions been air and ocean is extremely complex and happens on time scales from seconds to thousands of years. But the shoet of it when it comes to carbon in the ocean, carbon is not the limiting nutrient. It's usually micro nutrients like iron, nitrogen, or phosphorus. Carbon doesn't even hit the top 5 limiting nutrients in most systems.
This headline has been known by scientists for at least 50 years probably more than 100.
