Abstract : We estimated a weakening of the Southern Ocean carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) sink since 1981 relative to the trend expected from the large increase in atmospheric CO$_2$. We agree with Law et al. that network choice increases the uncertainty of trend estimates but argue that their network of five locations is too small to be reliable. A future reversal of Southern Ocean CO$_2$ saturation as suggested by Zickfeld et al. is possible, but only at high atmospheric CO$_2$ concentrations, and the effect would be temporary.
