Default Atlantic soaking up less CO2

Only heard a short news item this morning about this. Researchers have
found that the Atlantic was absorbing far less CO2 than it did x years
ago. The reporter asked the 'expert' (well, I suppose he was) and he
had no idea why this was happening. Seems reasonable to suggest that
it will increase further global warming because of the green house
effect. I would have thought the simple answer is that if the ocean
temperature is warmer it will dissolve/absorb less CO2 so the result
isn't too surprising. Anybody know more about this?
