> PPM of CO2 in air is 4

This is wrong, CO2 is currently 420PPM in Earth's atmosphere.

Wow, how did I manage that. My numbers are all off by 100x.

So that means they're saying the ocean is 4% CO2? That would mean the ocean has more CO2 than salt (3.5% or 35 ppt)

Ocean is also about 1000x as dense as air, so it only needs 40ppm of CO2 to be 100x more concentrated as air.
