Look closely. The Arctic ice cap is slightly smaller, unlike Antarctica. It looks like global warming does not affect Antarctica, but it does reduce Arctic ice.
@GeorgeV6v24 Thats not true, you're looking at the wrong data for both the Arctic and the Antarctic. In the Arctic, sea-ice volume has dropped dramatically (thats volume, not extent - this vid only shows extent). In Antarctica, although sea-ice has increased, the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic continent have both *warmed* at the same time, and Antarctica loses ~100+Gt per year in land ice. So you can't accept that sea-ice increase at face value without generating contradictions for yourself.
@GeorgeV6v24 "you can't accept that sea-ice increase at face value without generating contradictions for yourself" - meaning that the causes for Antarctic sea-ice increase are regional in nature, as has been established by a few separate studies (for example Zhang 2007, "Increasing Antarctic Sea Ice under Warming Atmospheric and Oceanic Conditions"). Therefore, they cannot be used to say anything about the effects of global warming on the ANtarctic continent (at least, not alone).
Excellent work here. However the Greenpeace and global-warming fanatics will ignore the facts as usual, and stick to their alarmist agenda. 'World Wide Protest Against the Global Warming SCAM' on Facebook.
