Cold water absorbs more carbon dioxide than warm water. Assume a mechanism (such as the Milankovitch Cycle) leads to global cooling. Sea surface temperatures will then begin to decrease. Subsequently, more carbon dioxide will be removed from the sky (as it will be absorbed in large quantities by the cold water). As a result, atmospheric temperatures will get cooler. This process is an example of

This process is an example of feedback, specifically a negative feedback loop, where a change in a system causes effects that influence the original change, in this case, cooling leading to more CO2 absorption, which further cools the atmosphere.
