Searching for a solvent with a low carbon dioxide solubility I would like to use a liquid solvent for some experimentation with a carbon dioxide solubility as low as possible under usual pressure and temperature conditions (say, $\pu{1 atm}$ and $\pu{293 K}$).

Until then, I was unable to find much information on the topic:


A study of $\ce{CO2}$ solubility in water and seawater by Weiss [1], indicating that $\ce{CO2}$ is less soluble in saline water than in pure water.
Publications concerning several organic solvent (acetone, cyclohexane, ethanol, methanol, etc.), a sum-up in IUPAC SDS Vol 50 [2]. To the naked eye, it seems that all of them can dissolve much more $\ce{CO2}$ than water, being poor candidates to answer my needs.
Publications concerning olive, linseed or other origin oils (see Simon and Gutknecht [3] for instance). However such fats seems to also have a higher solubility coefficient than water.


I do not know if such liquid does exist, but it would be great. Up to now, my best candidate is salty water.

Update

I understand the "like dissolves the like"[1] rule of thumb so that a highly polar solvent would be the worst for a non-polar molecule such as $\ce{CO2}$. Water as a solvent would then be the best choice (possibly salted to further reduce its $\ce{CO2}$ solubility) for my needs.

But as Rolf pointed out, the dissociation of $\ce{CO2}$ into carbonate ions also happens and might increase its solubility. For such reasons an aprotic solvent could be useful.

However, when comparing between water (molar fraction 0.00061) which is a strongly polar (dielectric constant: 80 and dipole moment 1.85$~$D) but protic solvent and dimethyl sulfoxide (molar fraction 0.0091[2]) which is also polar (dielectric constant: 47 and dipole moment 3.96$~$D) but aprotic solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide as a higher solubility for carbon dioxide than water.

What can be the reasons for such unexpected outcome? Are my reasonings and assumptions correct or am I flawed in my thinkings?

To find a solvent with low solubility for non polar gases like CO2 you have to compare the polarity of the solvents. A very polar solvent like water is the best choice. 
There's a related question here: Dissolving of non polar gases in water (liquid)

At the end of this answer I have added two links. The first one gives you the solubility of CO2 in water. According to this source, at room temperature and around atmospheric pressure of Co2, the molar fraction in water is 0.00061. 
The second link compares many other solvents. At room temperature and 1atm of CO2 the molar fraction is 0.012 in hexane that is the lowest for straight chain alkenes(Fig.1). Overall, among alkanes and cyclic alkanes, cyclohexane is the only one that at room temperature has a CO2 solubility below 0.01(fig.2).
Among aromatic hydrocarbons, you can reach a molar fraction as low as 0.006 if you use 1-Methylnaphthalene(fig.3) and this value is interestingly similar to what you can reach using methanol(you can find a graph comparing alcohols there as well(pag.129). Apparently the CO2 solubility with aromatic compounds is comparable to alcohols(polar).

With all this in mind, water is the best option and if you add salts the solubility of CO2 decreases further as you mentioned.
