Oh Dear !!! Climate change is a slow moving disaster which we humans have not evolved to completely comprehend. Once the oceans are not able to absorb any more C02, the temperatures are going to soar pretty fast and that C02 will remain in the atmosphere for a long time (unless some magic carbon capture thing comes along..which I doubt).

Right now ocean currents are near one full turnover from around the start of the industrial revolution. Up until now, as deep ocean currents rose to the surface it was exposing fresh water unladen with excess CO2, but now the current coming up is carrying CO2 saturated water from the industrial revolution.
