The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing several hundred billion tonnes of ice every year. Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent, area and volumes are currently at record lows for the date over the 40 year satellite record, and have been so for most of the past eight months. With the exception of a few small regions, alpine and polar glaciers are in retreat worldwide. Global surface temperatures have set record highs three consecutive years (in the 137 year instrumental record).

What "south" are you talking about? Is it on *this* planet?
