In view of the extreme importance of atmospheric carbon dioxide, I would have expected the momentous conclusion that southern oceans aren’t absorbing the expected increased amount of CO2, as well as the assertion that nutrient-enriched water absorbs CO2 less effectively than leaner water does, to be confirmed by field observations. As presented, your article appears to represent nothing more than speculation.
