    I did some Googling and found that the oceans produce about half of the Oxygen the Earth produces, and that ocean critters use it up.  So under normal conditions the Ocean O2 contribution cancels out.  But if things get unbalanced the Keeling curve might go bonkers.

    The global ocean hit a new record temperature of 21.1 ºC in early April, 0.1 ºC higher than the last record in March 2016.

    Light from the sun is essentially constant.  Warm plants consume more oxygen than cooler plants do.  Less surplus oxygen is released in warm conditions because of increased metabolism.  Oxygen production is temperature independent.  Photon capture happens at a fixed rate.
