The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by preventing heat from escaping the atmosphere into space. As more and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, temperatures increase.

Oceans
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
the atmosphere is the main source of CO2 in the ocean

burning fossil fuels to make electricity
Oceans hold the largest amount of carbon in the biosphere, but this carbon is part of the carbon cycle which moves in and out of the land, atmosphere and oceans.Human activity is the biggest source of additionalcarbon, by our burning of fossil fuels over the past 200 years.
Burning various carbon rich substances for fuel is the primary source of additional atmospheric CO2. Fuel is needed for EVERYTHING. Travel, heat, electricity, etc.
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small (.04%) because CO2 is in great demand by photosynthetic plants as a source of carbon for growth. The proportion of dissolved CO2 in water is about 15% of all dissolved gases. There is about 60 times more CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.
